And as the Minister’s brief has outlined, the City of Hamilton, unbeknownst to …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker , second supplementary. Would the Premier not agree that this still does not answer the issue of the public having access to government information which has traditionally been available, but now they will not have the opportunity to look at historical information because it will not be available?

Perhaps, in light of the Mini ster’s answer, would the Minister be aware that there is a well -known publicly reported statement from Her Majesty’s Government that they have a backlog of their own passport processing within the UK?
