ANSTEEL MINING COMPANY — MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
I refer to the Minister for State Development’s answer to question 777 on the memorandum of understanding between the government and Ansteel Mining Co. (1) Why was Ansteel’s agreement not sought for the publication of the MOU at the time it was negotiated, particularly as the minister heavily publicised the signing of the memorandum? (2) Has the minister or his office now approached Ansteel to provide a copy of the MOU? (3) If not, when will this be done, and how long does he anticipate this will take? Hon NORMAN MOORE
