Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will estimate the total number of ministerial replies from her Department to hon. Members in a parliamentary session; and what proportion of such replies are sent (a) by letter and (b) by email.
The total number of Ministerial replies sent to hon. Members between 1 January
and 31 December 2013 was 56,193. This figure includes replies sent by letter
or email. We do not collect information centrally on the volumes of responses
provided by email and it could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
