In general, I have found the system to be highly responsive and quick to respond. I have not had any issues, either in opposition or in government. I have had reason, in both circumstances, to make contact with the relevant authorities and always have been given a rapid response. Moreover, all efforts that could be made to respond were made and this has applied over the past ten, 15 or 20 years and more, covering all shades of Government.
