View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 177 and 179 together.
I wish to advise the Deputy that the information sought regarding staff in the agencies under the aegis of my Department is an operational matter for each Agency. I have notified the agencies under the aegis of the Department of the questions and have requested them to respond directly to the Deputy with their replies.
