Written answers

My Department’s Press Office generally provide photographic services when required.  However, on such occasions where this is not possible, a service provider is selected from the OGP panel in line with the procurement framework. No photography costs have been incurred from the Ministerial allowance available to me.

The details requested by the Deputy are as follows.
