<p>I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to PQ<a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2020-11-25/120952" target="_blank"> 120952</a> on 30 November 2020.</p><p> </p><p>In a three month period between July and September 2020, departments received around 8,000 freedom of information requests and responded to almost 90% of them within 20 working days or with a permitted extension. This reflects the Government’s commitment to fulfill its freedom of information obligations despite the pressures of responding to COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p>The FOI statistics for October to November 2020, and the annual statistics for 2020, will be published in April 2021, at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-foi-statistics</p><p> </p> |
