Information on average response times is not held.

However, in 2019, the Treasury replied to 90% of MPs’ correspondence within 15 working days.

The Treasury has received unprecedented amounts of correspondence since the start of the coronavirus outbreak in the UK. All Member’s correspondence is currently receiving attention and will be responded to as soon as possible.
