Please see the attached file, setting out, in tabular form, a schedule of all external legal consultation that this Minister and his predecessor engaged in, in 2023, 2024 and to date in 2025; the general nature of the engagement; whether the external consultation resulted in a report and or recommendations; and the cost of each consultant and or company engaged.

Please note that I did not include legal advice procured through the Office of the Attorney General or via the Chief State Solicitor's office as I do not interpret this as "external" legal advice.
