Answer

As per Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the material requested, as it will require a significant diversion of resources that will unduly interfere with the operation of my office and respective agencies. The Member may wish to consider asking a more specific question.
