As the Deputy will be aware, my Department, as currently configured, was established on 2 June 2011 and therefore the available information is being provided from that date.

I am advised that no consultancy contracts were entered into in 2011. Relevant details in respect of the first quarter of 2012 are set out in the table below. It may be noted that contracts for the provision of services have not been included.
