To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change how many and what percentage of letters sent by his Department were given to (a) the Royal Mail and (b) another postal services provider for delivery in the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement. (259965)

DECC does not currently have a correspondence unit. Correspondence is handled on behalf of DECC by DEFRA and BERR and I therefore refer my hon. Friend to the responses provided by those Departments.
