My Department is aware of the importance of maintaining security given the commercially sensitive meetings held in the Department and the sensitive information held by the Department.  In the interests of security, key offices and meeting rooms within my Department have been swept for monitoring devices from time to time.  No concerns have been raised on the basis of these sweeps.
