I am advised that no expenditure was incurred on external consultancy from my Department's Administrative Budget during 2021.

As has been previously advised to the House, my Department commissions experts from time to time to provide technical reports or advice on specific issues.  This work is not classified as consultancy services and is not funded from my Department's Administrative Budget.
