I propose to take Questions Nos. 4, 5 and 9 together.

The Government has established 10 Cabinet Committees, with membership as shown in the table below. Cabinet Committees are established by the Government to assist it in carrying out the responsibilities of Government in the areas indicated by their titles. They meet as appropriate according to their work schedules. Other Ministers or Ministers of State may attend meetings as required.

The Government will keep under review the need to establish any further Cabinet Committees in the light of evolving needs and emerging issues.

Apart from the various Cabinet Committees set out and associated Senior Officials Groups I have not established any other Departmental Committees.
