I wish to advise the Deputy that the information requested is outlined in the attached table.
There is no specific budget in my Department just for sponsorship of conferences. Such requests are considered on a case by case basis and, where appropriate, are then funded from within my Department's budget for agriculture related trade exhibitions.
