I wish to advise the Deputy that in preparation for these surveys a Code of Conduct was agreed between my Department and all of the current and prospective patron bodies. The Code of Conduct provided that there would be no canvassing campaign conducted in any area by any of the patron bodies. It was agreed that all the necessary information and documentation would be distributed by my Department.
