(3) Further to (2), of the properties presently unoccupied please provide details in relation to each property, distinguishing between the different types of dwelling available, as to why such property is unoccupied and when it can be expected that each property will be next occupied.
Mr Wood
: The answer to the member's question is as follows:After careful consideration of the question, and advice provided by my Department, I have determined that the information sought is not in an easily retrievable form, and that to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question would be a major task, requiring a considerable diversion of resources. In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from the provision of direct services to clients, for the purposes of answering the Member's question. However, I would be pleased to provide you with a verbal briefing covering information relevant to this subject, should you request it.
