Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, how often the Law Officers' Departments reviews its processes regarding the logging of emails, letters and other correspondence received; and if he will make a statement.

HMCPSI’s records management policy, which covers such processes, is reviewed and published annually. The remaining Law Officers’ Departments do not have a formal schedule for regularly reviewing the logging emails or correspondence, although such processes are monitored and when required are modified to meet business needs.

All of the Law Officers’ Departments comply with the guidance issued by the Cabinet Office on handling correspondence from Members of Parliament, Peers, MEPs and Members of devolved Administrations, which is available online at the following link - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/61196/guide-handling-gov-correspondence.pdf
