I propose to answer Questions Nos. 584 to 586, inclusive, together.

The information requested by the Deputy on design team fees relates to almost 700 projects which have moved through architectural planning over the past five years and which are either currently progressing through architectural planning, are currently in construction or have completed construction in that time. Given the number of projects involved it would require an inordinate amount of staff time and resources to assemble the requested information. However, if the Deputy wishes to clarify the situation in respect of individual cases then I would be happy to provide him with the information.
