To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the average cost of answering a written parliamentary question submitted to his Department was in 2022.
Answer
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office does not hold this level of detail on resources used to answer Written Parliamentary Questions in its central records. There is, however, a Disproportionate Cost Threshold which is set at £850. This is set out in the Guide to Parliamentary Work (2022) published on 14 November 2022.
