As stated in response to the Member’s previous questions on this topic, LA QON 1041 answered on 17 February 2026 and LA QON 1822 answered on 14 April 2026, the information being sought by the member for each department, agency and Government Trading Enterprise in the State Government is not readily available and would require considerable research, which would divert staff away from their normal duties. As such, I am not prepared to divert the State’s resources to provide a response.
However, if the Member has a more specific query, I would be pleased to consider arranging for the provision of information.
