HC Deb 22 June 2000 vol 352 cc267-8W
Mr. Maclennan

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many written parliamentary questions were tabled to her Department between 19 October 1999 and 20 April 2000; and how many of them have not received substantive answers, with disproportionate cost cited as the reason. [127336]

Mr. Stringer

Between 19 October 1999 and 20 April 2000, 238 written questions were tabled to my Department, of which two were replied to by stating that the information was not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. A further 13 questions received partial answers, with disproportionate cost cited as the reason why a complete answer could not be given.
