The report for the calendar year 2013 (Official Report 13 May 2014, 17WS) shows that 16,898 such letters were received by Department for Education Ministers. Most correspondence from hon. Members continues to be received as letters and is replied to in the same format, although Ministers will continue to reply in email form when they consider it appropriate to do so.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss grouped question UIN 203302 question first answered 07/07/2014 10:12:10 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
