The table below shows that Mr Ruffley responds to 100% of messages sent to him via the website within 14 days.

Mr Ruffley said:

“I am extremely pleased that the results demonstrate the level of commitment I have to my constituents. Responding to, and dealing with, my constituents' enquiries is the most important part of my job as an MP and one that I take very seriously.

“I try hard not only to answer constituents' enquiries, but also to deal with them in a quick and efficient manner and I am glad that this survey shows that. We live in an increasingly interactive and electronically driven world, and it is important that we as Members of Parliament keep up to date with all the new technologies and the local public’s needs.”
