The information requested could only be established by going through each of the 62,668 questions tabled in the periods specified, which would incur disproportionate expense. However, the figures for 3 July 2023, given below, are likely to be representative:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Published unamended or with style edits</p></td><td><p>233 (78% of total processed)</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Published having been carded and subsequently discussed with Member/Member’s office</p></td><td><p>28 (9%)</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL PUBLISHED</p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>261</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Carded and not yet resolved/published</p></td><td><p>23 (8%)</p></td><td><p>Of which 5 information readily available, 4 duplicate question, 14 other reason</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Carded and withdrawn</p></td><td><p>12 (4%)</p></td><td><p>Of which 1 information readily available, 5 duplicate question, 6 other reason</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Withdrawn for other reasons</p></td><td><p>2</p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>TOTAL PROCESSED</strong></p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>298</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The Table Office can only put on to the Order Paper questions which comply with the rules of the House. Questions substantially the same as one already tabled are not published.

The rules regarding questions are set out at 3.22 in Erskine May, which is available online: <a href="https://erskinemay.parliament.uk/section/4942/rules-of-order-regarding-form-and-contents-of-questions" target="_blank">Rules of order regarding form and contents of questions - Erskine May - UK Parliament</a></p><p>The Table Office also provides tailored briefing and coaching in drafting questions for Members and their staff.</p> answering member constituency Broxbourne answering member printed Sir Charles Walker question first answered 04/09/2023 19:07:44 answering member 1493 label Biography information for Sir Charles Walker
