My Department has sought external assistance with public relations once in the last 10 years. Details of such expenditure by my Department on public relations advice from an external agency during the past ten years follow.

My Department does not employ or engage any external consultants or firms to deal with public relations. The Department's Press Office deals with all media queries and public relations matters.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
