<p /> <p /> <p>The Ministry of Justice received3,087 questions tabled in the Commons
during the 2013-14 session. Of these,26 parliamentary questions did not receive a
substantive answer by the end of the last session. In these cases the relevant Minister
committed to write providing a substantive answer and the written responses. We have
now answered 16 of the outstanding questions and are in the process of responding
to the remaining 10. The following table sets out the month in which each of the questions
was tabled.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>February

</p><p> </p><p>The Justice Secretary and his Ministerial team take their obligations
to Parliament seriously and want to ensure that MPs receive answers of a high standard
which set out the relevant context. More complex questions can involve compiling and
analysing large volumes of material. We respond to such questions as promptly as we
can.</p>
