I propose to take Questions Nos. 537 and 538 together.

I refer the Deputy to my response to parliamentary question 45478/14 of 26 November 2014 concerning meetings of my Department’s Management Advisory Committee. Since then there have been two further meetings which took place on 4^thDecember and 16^thDecember. I attended the Management Advisory Committee meetings on 15^thJuly and 18^thNovember. The special advisers also attended these meetings.
