I propose to take Questions Nos. 866 and 867 together.

My Department does not have any record in relation to the first issue raised, which relates to events alleged to have occurred over a quarter of a century ago.

In relation to the second issue, which relates to a restriction imposed in 2008, I am satisfied that the relevant Department’s procedures, under which a valuer conducting an appeal valuation is not made aware of the earlier valuation, were complied with in this case.

I might add that, arising from a Freedom of Information Act application in 2011, the person named was supplied with all relevant records held by my Department in relation to both issues, in accordance with the requirements of that legislation.
