Question:
To ask the Minister for Regional Development to detail (i) the number of Civil Servants from his Department who have left work early since 3 December 2012 due to unrest; (ii) and to detail the associated financial cost to his departmental budget.

Answer:

My Department has not issued any formal instruction to its staff on this matter. However, staff can make use of flexible working arrangements which allow them to leave work early if required. The nature of flexible working is such that hours unworked during a particular day or time period are made up at a later stage.
