Question NW2520 to the Minister of Public Works
01 October 2018 - NW2520
Figg, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Public Works
(a) What amount did his department spend on operating leases for properties located in foreign territories (i) in each of the past five financial years and (ii) since 1 April 2018, (b) where is each property located, (c) what is the purpose of leasing each property and (d) from whom was each property leased?
Reply:
The Department of Public Works is not leasing any properties abroad. The function of providing accommodation for Government use in foreign territories was allocated to the then Department of Foreign Affairs in 1999, today known as the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO).
It is recommended that the question be directed to DIRCO for an accurate and comprehensive response in this regard.
(a), (b), (c) and (d) Fall away.
