Storage Costs and Aid Initiative Update

Summary

Mitchell again asked for annual storage costs and requested updates on the “move the mountain” effort. The Minister said he did not have the cost figures but would provide them privately and keep Mitchell informed; the Chair then moved to the next question.

I thank the Minister for the details he has given but he did not tell me the cost per annum of storing the intervention——

I did.

I did not catch it if he did. Secondly, will he be good enough to keep me informed of the outcome of his efforts with regard to moving the mountain? I will be interested to be kept up to date on that.

I will, certainly. I have not got the storage costs and, believe me, that is not an attempt on my part to evade the question. The Deputy did not ask me that in the question. If he communicates with me privately I will be glad to let him have the cost of the storage. It was not in the question.

I propose to go on to the next question now.
