I refer to question without notice 879.

vehicle inspection include checking any modifications to ensure that they meet

I thank the member for the question. On behalf of the Leader of
the House, I provide the following response —
(1) There is no additional cost.
(2) No. The minister has an allocated vehicle for ministerial
use.
(3) No.
I do not think this next part is a very good answer.
Obviously, I have not had time to check it. I will read it anyway, but I will
follow up if I need to.
(4) I refer
the honourable member to Legislative Council question without notice 879.
Several members interjected.
The PRESIDENT : Order! We are on to the next question.
