Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles. Please note some titles have been withheld as they are either sensitive in nature or still under active consideration. It is not in the public interest to release them at this time. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 57361 (2025).
