The information sought by the Member is not readily available. Provision of this information would require considerable research, which would divert staff away from their normal duties, and I am not prepared to allocate the State's resources to provide a response. However, if the Member has a specific query, I would be pleased to consider arranging for the agency to provide information on that particular issue.
