The Gas Pipeline Sale Steering Committee consisted of: Mr Ian Baker Chairperson, AlintaGas Board of Directors; Mr John Shawley Director, AlintaGas Board of Directors; Mr John Langoulant, Under Treasurer; Dr Les Farrant Coordinator of Energy, Office of Energy; and Dr Des Kelly Chief Executive Officer, Department of Resources Development. Other public service officers involved at the time included Mr Tim Sharp (State Solicitor's Office) and Mr Neville Smith (Treasury). The above list is not exhaustive and it would require the commitment of significant time and resources to develop an exhaustive list. I am not prepared to commit these resources. (2) Not applicable (3) The sale process was assisted by a number of expert consultancies including the provision of legal and financial advice from firms such as Jackson MacDonald. It will require the commitment of significant time and resources to retrieve and review all the relevant records from archives and I am not prepared to commit these resources. The Member should be aware that the Government does not have access to records that might be held by organisations or companies outside the public sector and therefore would not be able to provide the detail requested in the Member's question.
