With regard to question on notice No. 2432 asked in the Legislative Council on 20 May 2010 and specifically the Minister's answer to part (9) of this question, I ask:
(a) does the Minister accept/agree that:
(i) Mr Alan Holmes did not receive the complaints from Mr Shaun Maddock but argued with him so as not to have to consider the complaints;
(ii) the complaints were not recorded; and
(iii) actions have not been taken in respect of the complaints; and
(b) If yes to (a), how does that position contrast with the answer provided to question on notice No. 2432 part (9)?
