As stated in response to the Member’s previous question on this topic, LA QON 1161 answered on 17 February 2026, the information being sought by the member 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.
If the Member has a query related to a specific department, agency or Government Trading Enterprise within a specific Minister's portfolio of responsibilities, I would be pleased to consider arranging for the department to provide information on that particular issue.
