Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of (a) ordinary and (b) named-day written questions their Department answered on time in 2022.

The procedure committee regularly publish reports on parliamentary written question performance. The most recent report, covering departmental performance in Session 2021-22, can be found here: Written parliamentary questions: Departmental performance in Session 2021–22 - Committees - UK Parliament.

The Home Office is working to improve our performance in answering written parliamentary questions, for details on this continuous improvement I refer the Hon Member to the letter sent from the Home Office to the Procedure Committee dated 21 June 2022 https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/23223/documents/169558/default/.
