Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what target his Department sets for the maximum time to respond to letters from hon. Members; what proportion of letters meets that target; and what is the average time taken to respond to a letter from an hon. Member. [49811]

Mr. Kilfoyle

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will shortly publish figures showing the volume of correspondence which he, other individual Ministers and Agency Chief Executives received from hon. Members, the targets set for reply and the percentage of replies sent within target. Figures showing the average time taken by Ministers and Agency Chief Executives to respond to letters are not collated centrally.
