3.
Number of projects (and if possible the languages they are using), where those projects
were not accounted for in response to item 1 above
The Bureau is working on a large number of projects ranging in size from months to
multiple years. We are unable to provide a list of project names due to the sensitive
nature of the work.
4.
The names of the projects where those projects were not accounted for in response to
item 1 above, due to the project being of a highly sensitive nature
We are unable to provide information on project names as this would enable
identification of work that is underway and of a highly sensitive nature.
