I am grateful to the Deputy for raising the matter.

He is absolutely correct - the negotiations that take place between my office and any Member of the House are confidential and have always been treated as such. Following the Deputy's call, I called the Government Press Office to protest that my office had been referred to in a communication issued by it on this matter.
