There are a small number of applications in which penalties were applied for minor technical breaches such as that described. These cases are currently being reviewed in my Department.

The information requested is not readily available. As its provision would require staff to be diverted from urgent work in expediting REPS 4 Payments for a significant period,I believe that official time would be better employed in continuing to process payments.
