Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reason his Department missed the response deadline for 133 freedom of information requests submitted in 2017.
The Cabinet Office answered 91% of the 1,537 freedom of information requests it received in 2017 within a permitted deadline. This is in line with the 91% timeliness response rate for central government as a whole. The Cabinet Office does not record the reasons why individual requests take longer than twenty working days.
