I thank the Minister for his response. His Department has not spent that much on consultancy fees. I was not aware of that. I am pleased the Minister agrees that consultants should only be used in exceptional circumstances and that it is of the utmost importance that taxpayers' money is spent sparingly when it comes to the employment of consultants. His response has satisfied me.
