Treasury: Correspondence
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason HM Treasury did not meet (a) 81 and (b) 77 per cent of its target response times to correspondence from MPs and Peers in (i) Q3 and (ii) Q4 of 2024.
Answered by James Murray
Since July 2024, Treasury ministers have received over 7,000 pieces of correspondence from Members. That is significantly more than usual, creating a significant backlog.
Officials and Private Offices are working hard to reduce the backlog and clear outstanding cases as quickly as possible.
