(a) No
(b) Business cases presented to airlines contain commercially sensitive information which would disadvantage the State against its competitors if made publicly available, and risk damaging discussions with airlines themselves whose preference is to maintain a level of confidentiality. Accordingly, I will notify the Auditor General’s office and both houses of Parliament that part (b) of this question will not be answered as per section 82 of the Financial Management Act 2006 .
