Written question asked by Lord Greaves (Liberal Democrat), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Vadera (Labour) on Tuesday, 17 March 2009.
Petitions
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Andrews on 27 February (WA 114), why the Department of Communities and Local Government does not keep a separate record of the number of petitions they receive, the text of them and the number of signatories; and why they do not publicise on their website details of the petitions they receive and the actions taken on them.
- Answer
-
Although the department records the number of letters it receives, we do not count the number of petitions separately. The text of petitions and the number of signatures could only be provided at disproportionate cost, again because they are not stored separately from other forms of correspondence.
