On foot of a Government decision, the then Minister for Education and Science formally established the State Examinations Commission on 6 March 2003. The commission now has statutory responsibility for operational matters relating to the certificate examinations, such as the time tabling of examinations. Accordingly, I have passed the Deputy's query to the chief executive officer of the commission for direct reply.
