Members: Correspondence

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions with reference to the letter from his Department's central Freedom of Information team to the hon. Member for Yeovil dated 8 October 2008, which 25 questions from the hon. Member for Yeovil and 36 questions from other hon. Members were colour-coded red during his Department's use of a colour coding system for answering parliamentary questions; and if he will make a statement. [227724]

Jonathan Shaw: For the early part of the 2006-07 session, Ministerial Private Offices in the Department trialled an informal system of colour coding parliamentary questions to help improve internal processes for answering them.

No formal monitoring system was in place during the period of the trial. Nor did the trial extend to all Ministerial Private Offices or to all parliamentary questions. TheDepartment discontinued the trial in February 2007.

Nevertheless, as part of an investigation by the Information Commissioner, the Department was able to collate partial figures based on the limited information available while making it clear that they could not be considered definitive.

On the basis of this partial information the Hansard references for the parliamentary questions from the right hon. Member for Yeovil colour coded red during the period of the trial are set out in the following table.
