The following deferred reply was received under Standing Order 51.
I refer to your Parliamentary Question No. 869 which was for answer on 25 July 2023 and which asked “… the Minister for Justice if his Department, and all agencies under the remit of his Department, have their telephone contact details on their websites and on other media platforms; if all stationery and headed notepaper used in correspondence with the public contain relevant phone contact details, taking into account that everybody is not in a position to correspond by e-mail; and if she will make a statement on the matter.”
You will recall that at the time, I undertook to seek the information requested and revert to you.
I can confirm that my Department provides telephone contact details on its website, media platforms and headed notepaper used in correspondence with the public. With regard to the bodies and agencies under the remit of my Department, in almost all cases, telephone contact details are available on both websites and headed stationery. A detailed breakdown is set out in the attached table.
