I propose to take Questions Nos. 60 and 61 together.
My Department did not encounter any millennium bug issues in the crossover from 1999 to 2000 as intensive preparations had been made by staff of the Department to identify and remedy in advance any Y2K problems. This effort was successful. It was, therefore, not necessary to activate the Department's contingency plans.
