It is not possible to provide the various reports, briefings or material relating to such requests in response to a Parliamentary Question. My officials will contact the Deputy's office to explore what information he is looking for with a view to furnishing same if possible. Of course, a request for all records pertaining to grant increase requests from the CCPC could be submitted by the Deputy to my Department as an FOI request.
