I have interpreted the Deputy's question to relate to contracts which my Department has entered into since I took up office on 9^thMarch 2011.

In the absence of a complete list of such business interests or investment holdings via subsidiaries or other structures being available it is not possible to give a definitive response to the Deputy's question. However, I am not aware of any contracts entered into by my Department with businesses and/or subsidiary companies of the named individual during this period. Furthermore, the Deputy will be aware that shareholding or ownership would not be a relevant consideration in the awarding of contracts under domestic or EU procurement rules.
