View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 113 and 115 together.
As my Department's current Financial Management System was introduced in June 2003, the information requested by the Deputy prior to this date is not readily available and would involve a very significant amount of administrative time to compile. Accordingly, the relevant information for the period from June 2003 to date is being compiled and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
