[The Leader of the House of Commons (Penny Mordaunt)]

rose—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dame Rosie Winterton)]

I am delighted to say that the Leader of the House is going to help us out.

[Penny Mordaunt]

Further to that point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I hear the hon. Gentleman and will take this issue up with the Home Office. I know that it is very keen to get replies back, particularly on very pressing constituent issues and systems that have been under great strain. However, I very much understand that the quality and timeliness of departmental correspondence is of immense importance to us all in being able to carry out our jobs. I have already had conversations with the new Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster about how we can undertake continuous improvement on this issue. We take this very seriously and I will raise this matter.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I thank the Leader of the House for that very helpful response. I am sure that she will come back with further information, perhaps during one of the business statements.
