To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what progress her office has made in encouraging Ministers to reply to letters from hon. Members more quickly. [148767]

All Departments are working hard to improve their handling of hon. Members' correspondence. We are currently collating information on the performance of Departments during the 2000 calendar year and will report back to the House in due course.
