To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many letters he and his predecessors sent in each of the last five years. (153445)

Before 2006 the Wales Office systems recorded total correspondence sent, but without details of sender. Information for that period could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

In 2006 I sent 383 letters.

The Wales Office publishes correspondence statistics in its annual report and for the Cabinet Office for the annual report to Parliament.
