Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant the the Answer of 19 July 2021 to Question 33109, when her Department plans to respond to the email from Mr Peter Jones of January 2021, sent to his Department by the hon. Member for Lichfield's office; for what reason a reply has not been forthcoming from her Department for in excess of six months since the receipt of that email; and what her Department's policy is on timely responses to constituency enquiries from hon. Members.

I have responded to the email from the hon. member for Lichfield most recently on 22 July.

Discussions remain ongoing regarding Educational Oversight for Private further education colleges and I will provide a further response as soon as possible.

We aim to respond to all correspondence from MPs in a timely manner. The Department works to a target of responding to 95% of MPs written correspondence within 20 working days.
