Now that the member has raised it, I will investigate everything. Dr K.D. Hames : That was in the letter that was sent to you on 1 March. Mr F.M. LOGAN : I have not personally seen the letter. The member has pointed out to the house that it is an application for a mining permit and that it is going through the normal processes. Given what the member has raised, I will make sure it is scrutinised very carefully.
