I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Honourable member, this is the first
time I have seen the answer. It was in somebody else's file. I am
advised that this question falls under the
corrective services portfolio and the Minister for Corrective Services is
unable to answer for the Attorney General.
The minister requires the question to be referred to the Minister for
Corrective Services to respond accordingly. He should have given that
answer. I will get the member an answer for the next sitting day.
