My Department in its current configuration was established in September 2020.
From time to time, my Department commissions experts to provide technical reports or advice on specific issues. While the providers of these services may describe themselves as consultants, their work is not classified as consultancy services and is not funded from my Department's Administrative Budget.
I wish to advise the Deputy that the details of the reports commissioned or funded by my Department that are designated as not for external publication in the period since then are outlined in the table below.
