<p>Information is not available in the form requested. Reports on the performance
of Departments in handling correspondence from hon. Members and peers are published
by the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General each year and include
numbers of letters to which Ministers reply. 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>
