The Honourable Member would be aware that I was appointed to the
current position in November 2010 while the Deputy Minister was
appointed earlier, ie at the inception of the current
administration in June 2009. The information relating to our
international trips has already been provided in my reply to
Question No 1028 on 23 August 2011.
The international trips that I and the Deputy Minister have
undertaken are based on the Government programme while the domestic
trips relate to both Government and personal matters.
I would like to assure the Honourable Member that I have
ascertained that all my and Deputy Ministerâs air travels, as
descrbed in the Honourable Memberâs question above, as well as the
amount spent per each travel, are in compliance with Chapter 6 of
the Ministerial Handbook.
