I refer to the Reports on Consultants engaged by Government, which are tabled periodically, and I ask:

(b) does this definition include the employment of persons on short-term contracts but who are not members of the public sector, and if not, why not; and
(c) of what value must a consultancy be before it is referred to in the tabled reports?
