Perhaps he should ask (one of) his Parliamentary Assistant to pull up her socks. It shouldn’t be too difficult, as it is his wife Sacha.

One thought on “Hugo Swire replies to less than 25% of constituents’ letters within 2 weeks

  1. I can speak from personal experience here as I have written to Hugo Swire several times – perhaps 6-8 times. I have only had replies from him on two occasions.

    On the first I did receive a written response – but although it was addressed to me, it was nothing to do with the question I had asked and appeared to be an answer to someone else’s question.

    On the second occasion, I had no response from him, but decided to be persistent – and after several phone calls to one of his several PAs (note several phone calls needed, when none should be needed) he eventually contacted the minister concerned and eventually I got a response.

    So, not really a great batting average from our Hugo – and as far as I can see the 25% who get an answer should consider themselves lucky, because presumably the other 75% (like me) get no response at all within 2 weeks.

    Declaration of Interest: I am a constituent of Hugo Swire. For many decades I voted Conservative because I trusted them more than I trusted Labour. These days it feels like none of the major parties are trustworthy – I did NOT vote for Hugo in the last election, and am unlikely to vote for him or the Conservatives in the future.
