Answer

I am advised that for the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) to obtain this information would require substantial manual collation and engagement diverting Ministry staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest. This is also my response to WPQ’s 31883, 31884, 31894, 31895, 31893, 31896, 31897 & 31891
