I propose to take Questions Nos. 331 and 332 together.

My approach to answering Parliamentary Questions has always been to provide replies that are accurate, informative and comprehensive and to follow-up as appropriate where relevant information is not available at the time of answering. I am satisfied that the Parliamentary Questions I have answered since coming into Office in 2011 have been to a very high standard and that the protocols in place are entirely appropriate to the process.
