The information requested by the Deputy in respect of the private contractors, consultants and agencies that provide outsourced services for the Department and its Offices is set out in the table below. The table details the service provider, the nature of the service and the cost of the outsourced services provided to my Department and its Offices in 2010. The provision of such information in respect of the Agencies of my Department is a day-to-day administrative function for which I have no responsibility. In this connection, I have asked that the relevant information be provided to you directly.
