Answer

As Minister of Conservation, I have a responsibility for appointments to 45 entities. All entities are responsible for their own record keeping and maintaining a record of conflicts of interest. I am advised that the information requested is not held in a central repository, nor in an easily assessable form. To collate the information would require significant manual collation at the entity and Department level, which is not possible within the timeframe for written questions.
