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) indicating that a letter is normally sent to the originator of a petition confirming receipt, what criteria are applied in deciding whether to send such a letter; and what proportion of petitions do not receive such a letter.
- 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.
