To ask the Scottish Executive what its performance in answering ministerial correspondence was in the first quarter of 2005.
In the answer given to question S1W-24583, I undertook to continue to report quarterly on the numbers of letters received by ministers and our performance in answering them.
In the quarter January to March 2005, 2,899 letters were received for ministerial reply of which 76% received a reply within our target of 20 working days.
