I presume the Deputy is referring to examination candidates' answer books.
In 1988 a small number of answer books were temporarily misplaced. These were later located and the results issued to the schools in question.
I wish to assure the Deputy that the arrangements for the return, marking, storage and security of examination scripts is constantly under review in my Department and every effort will continue to be made to ensure that all scripts are accounted for.
