I will give the Minister the information. There were 11 pictures in the two newsletters, seven of which featured the Minister and four of which featured the Minister of State. That means 11 out of 11 featured one of the two Ministers. It would appear that the Minister's opinion is that nothing happens in the Department of interest that does not have the Ministers in it.

Has the Minister or his Department consulted the Standards in Public Office Commission about the appropriateness of this newsletter in its present form? At what level is the draft signed off in the Department before it is presented to the Minister?
