To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families to how many (a) emails and (b) letters from members of the public his Department has responded since May 2007. (317048)

The Department was established on 28 June 2007. From 1 July 2007 until 31 December 2009 we have responded to 108,901 items of correspondence from members of the public. The Department does not record the information by correspondence method and therefore cannot break the figure down into e-mails and letters.
