View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 917 and 919 together.
I want to thank the Deputy for raising this matter with me, which I know he has previously raised with my predecessor as Minister.
The case in question has received detailed consideration by officials in my Department and a relevant academic has been engaged to provide expert opinion on the matter.
I will write to the Deputy directly with a further update.
