As I indicated in my reply to Question No. 90 on 11 March 2004, the question of extending my Department's special extra-statutory lump sum compensation scheme to members of the Permanent Defence Force serving with the Organisation for Security and Co-Operation in Europe, OSCE, and other such overseas missions is under consideration in my Department.
