To ask the Secretary of State for Wales (1) how many parliamentary written questions his Office received in each parliamentary Session since 2001; and how many of these questions (a) were not answered because of disproportionate cost, (b) were not answered, (c) received answers referring back to a previous answer (i) asked by the hon. Member and (ii) asked by another hon. Member and (d) were grouped together for answer; (107472)

This information could not be made available without disproportionate costs being incurred.

My Department targets answering ordinary written questions within five parliamentary sitting days of receipt of the question. Named-day questions are answered on the date specified by the Member of Parliament tabling the question.
