Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what data their Department holds on the average response time to enquiries by Members; and what assessment they have made of the adequacy of that response time.
The Scotland Office regularly publishes data on our response times to Members on gov.uk. During quarter 1 and quarter 2 of 2023, the Scotland Office responded to 96% of Member enquiries within the 20 working day target. The Department continually monitors and looks for ways to improve its correspondence performance.
