I propose to take Questions Nos. 147, 148 and 160 together.

Every effort is made by me to give a full and comprehensive reply to Deputies for each parliamentary question tabled to me. Each answer is checked for accuracy by officials in my Department before the draft reply is forwarded to me for finalisation.

When answering supplementary questions during Question Time in the House, if the information requested by a Deputy is not readily available to me, I regularly commit to forward the outstanding information to the Deputy in writing afterwards.
