Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he will respond to the correspondence of 6 September 2022 from the hon. Member for Stockport, reference NM16669.
The Ministry of Justice responded to the letter on 23 February 2023. We take the handling of correspondence seriously and in this instance, due to an administrative error, there was an unacceptable delay in responding. As outlined in our response, we apologise for the delay in responding.
