Minister of State at the Department of Defence

My Department's Press Office staff and my press advisor are, as part of their normal duties,  in contact with a range of print and broadcast media organisations on a daily basis in response to questions from the media submitted to my Department. Due to the nature and extent of such contact, each specific encounter is not recorded.
