Written answers

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below. These subscriptions are required to support my Department in its day-to-day work and to ensure that its staff have access to the latest information on a broad range of domestic and international issues relevant to its role.

My Department keeps the cost and method of subscription under review to ensure that is effective and represents the best possible value-for-money.
