I propose to take Questions Nos. 58 and 59 together.

The tables below set out the total expenses claimed by the two secretaries general, three second secretaries and the assistant secretaries of my Department in each of the past three years (2007 to 2009). The detailed breakdown by expense category (foreign travel, home travel, entertainment and other), requested by the Deputy, is also provided. The total expenses of the Second Secretary positions, which are unique to my Department and were not requested by the Deputy, are also provided.

*Other expenses include training, professional subscriptions, publications, etc
