Where constituency correspondence is provided directly from Member’s offices, rather than from Members themselves, the Minister’s office is not routinely shown the correspondence if it has been assessed to fall into the racist or offensive content category.</p><p>In this case there was an error in the process for assessing whether the correspondence was racist or offensive and a substantive reply should have been sent. The correspondence will now be replied to by me as the Minister for Justice and Tackling Illegal Migration as a matter of priority</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 13/12/2021 15:41:24 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
