To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many parliamentary questions have been tabled to his Department for written answer on a named day since May 1997; and what percentage of them received a substantive reply on that day. [80732]

According to our records 2,026 Named Day Questions have been tabled to my Department. Information on what percentage of them received a substantive reply could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Our database cannot currently provide that information, however, we are looking at ways to refine it which may enable us to provide such information in the future.
