I propose to take Questions Nos. 256 and 257 together.

I can confirm that there is no evidence to indicate that my ministerial mobile phone has been compromised or of any attempts to hack this phone. 

I occasionally use my personal phone in the course of my official duties and the above position also applies to this phone during my term of office.
