Written answers

I have not issued any instructions regarding this matter to my Department. My Department was not a party to any such allegations and has already confirmed to the person concerned both in correspondence and in the course of several meetings that the Department does not have any issue or concern to pursue with him. Furthermore, all relevant documents relating to the issues referred to by the Deputy have been released to this person. It is a matter for the individual concerned to decide how such documentation might be of use to him in relation to his dealings with any third parties.
