Vol. 392 No. 1

Written Answers. - Departmental Staff on Constituency Work.

74.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the number of personnel within his Department whose sole or primary function is dealing with constituency inquiries on behalf of him and his Minister of State from 1976 to 1989.

As it has not consistently been the practice to separately identify and record those staff dealing with constituency inquiries in the offices of my predecessors or those of the Minister of State, I regret it is not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy in respect of each year since 1976.

Similarly, the duties of the staff of my office, and that of the Minister of State at my Department, encompass both departmental and constituency work. At present, the number of staff in my Department, whose principal duties relate to constituency inquiries is six.
