I can confirm to the Deputy that the staff of my Department have not attended the Pendulum summit in an official capacity in the period in question and therefore related expenditure has not been incurred. If such expenditure has been incurred by agencies under the aegis of my Department I have asked that they respond directly to the Deputy.
