I would refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question No. 585 answered on 20 March 2002, which outlined details of consultants engaged by my Department since 26 July 1997, the nature of the work for which they were engaged, the fees paid and the year of payment. In addition to the information supplied in Parliamentary Question No. 585 the following persons were also engaged in my Department:–

It is assumed that the question does not refer to staff temporarily appointed in a clerical-executive capacity on a contract or atypical basis.
