I wish to advise the Deputy that of the 18 bodies under the aegis of my Department, 15 have indicated that they have not engaged the services of private investigation firms in the past five years to date in 2017. In relation to the 3 remaining bodies under the aegis of my Department, the Investor Compensation Company Limited and the National Treasury Management Agency* have provided the information sought in respect the services of private investigation companies engaged by them, with details set out in the table below. It was not possible for the Central Bank to provide the information sought in the time available and therefore I will make arrangements to provide the outstanding information in line with Standing Orders.
* The National Treasury Management Agency (NTMA) is designated as the State Claims Agency (SCA) when performing the claims management and risk management functions designated to it under the National Treasury Management Agency Act 1990, as amended. When deemed necessary, in the course of its work and activities, the SCA engages the services of private investigation firms. The material provided by the SCA covers the amounts paid during the period in question.
