Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps his Department is taking to increase the number of ministerial replies sent to hon. Members in electronic form only.
I refer the hon. Member to my Written Statement of 13 May 2014: Column 17WS.Information on the number of responses sent via email or letter is not held.
The Cabinet Office encourages all Departments to communicate with hon. Members via electronic mail where appropriate. Guidance on handling correspondence from Members of Parliament, Peers, MEPs and members of devolved administrations will be updated in due course.
