Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps their Department is taking to improve response times to written parliamentary questions.

Treasury ministers have responded to over 97% of all parliamentary questions, within their respective targets, so far in this parliamentary session. This is based on Treasury’s own data and the Procedure Committee will publish final data following the end of this session.

Treasury continually seeks to maintain and improve its responsiveness to MP’s questions. To that end, officials regularly review internal processes and deliver relevant training to those involved.
