The information requested by the Deputy is being compiled by my Department but is not yet complete. Given the broad range of activities involved and the time period encompassed by the question, together with the Deputy's decision not to set a minimum cost threshold below which the data were not required, my Department is unable to supply the material sought by the Deputy within the timescale requested. Officials in my Department are however, well advanced in bringing together the information sought by the Deputy which I will to forward to him shortly.
