I am advised that the records from the Parliamentary Question computer interface used in my Department indicate that 61 Questions were transferred from my Department to other Departments between 1 October 2011 and 31 March 2012. I understand that these Questions were transferred because the recipient Departments, rather than my own Department, had statutory responsibility for the various subject matters in each case.
