Government Consultants

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): By way of supplementary question, as a minister of the Crown, you do not know whether there is a policy on consultants out-of-pocket expenses, even in your own department?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:22): I have answered the question. I said I will take it on notice and bring back a response.
