Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his oral contribution of 9 September 2021, Official Report, in response to the urgent question on the timing of detailed responses to hon. Members regarding UK nationals and vulnerable Afghans stuck in Afghanistan, how many of the 200,000 emails were from hon. Members.

We are rapidly working through the correspondence to ascertain the figure. Nearly 500 staff from across the FCDO and HMG have been working to clear the back-log of correspondence and ensure they are all responded to in the most appropriate way.
