I propose to take Questions Nos. 89 and 90 together.

I am taking the definition of "non-core pay" to refer to allowances (e.g. higher duties, special duties, machine allowances, shift/roster allowances etc.) that form part of an officer's overall remuneration, but is over and above basic pay. The amount spent by my Department on overtime and non-core pay in 2008 and to date in 2009 is as follows:

* 9 October 2009

With regard to the Offices under the aegis of my Department, I have been advised that the following is the position:

*The exact date may differ slightly between organisations, but the general reference date is 30 September 2009.

I am advised by the Office of Public Works that they will provide the information directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
