I can inform the Deputy that my original response on this subject contained a considerable amount of detail, including the date of establishment of more than 50 bodies under my Department's aegis, along with their budget and staffing in 2007. As I have indicated previously, it would not be feasible for my Department to compile equivalent information back to 1997 without the application of a disproportionate amount of staff time.
