Could the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government kindly explain, in a little bit more detail, under what circumstances the 98 members of staff, who were dismissed, were employed? He said that they were employed illegally, against non-existent posts, and with no budgetary allocation and when the Council had been dissolved. Could he explain this answer and give details?"}
