<p>The department does not record the time spent in answering individual Freedom of
Information (FOI) requests and is therefore unable to calculate an average time for
answering such requests in any of the last five years.</p><p> </p><p>Statistical information
on the Department’s performance in answering FOI requests over the last five years
is published by the Cabinet Office at: <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fcollections%2Fgovernment-foi-statistics&data=05%7C02%7CIvan.Pocock%40dft.gov.uk%7Cc16907c3d299442e5ac408dc6ea226bd%7C28b782fb41e148eabfc3ad7558ce7136%7C0%7C0%7C638506889919674319%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=puF9aM2bOWX2HLJ7H2RTpb1dezObskIBsQuEVOQzx10%3D&reserved=0"

</p><p>These statistics, which cover all Government departments, include the number
that were not answered within the target time. They are published by calendar year,
with the latest year being 2023. The annual statistics for 2024 will be published
in April 2025 but quarterly statistics may be available sooner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
