(3) How many police stations were built, planned for or were near completion between March 1993 and December 2000? (4) What are their locations? The PRESIDENT: Order! If this is an extensive answer, the minister should table it. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS

AnswerView source ↗

It is not a particularly extensive answer. In providing the answer I foreshadowed that I am not entirely happy with the wording of the answer. I will give the answer. Hon Bruce Donaldson: The minister can answer it tomorrow. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: I am unhappy with the reference to the period between March 2001 and April 2004 because a couple of words precede it and they do not appear to be entirely accurate. I have a list of police stations but I should tie in the list to the specific period.
