Ministerial letters received at the Home Office are routinely scanned on arrival onto the Correspondence Tracking System (CTS) by the Direct Communications Unit (DCU). There is no record on the system of a letter dated 21 August 2008 from the hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam having been received.
The Member's office has now provided the Home Office with a copy of the letter, and this was scanned onto CTS on 13 March. A reply will be provided as quickly as possible, and within the office's 15 working day target.
