I hope my question will not offend the sensibilities of the Leader of the House. It can be answered in one word and two letters. (1) Are records maintained of times when police stations are unmanned or closed during normal business hours because police officers are engaged elsewhere or for any other reason? (2) If so, in the month of October 2003 - (a) how many times during normal working hours were Forrestfield and Kalamunda Police Stations unmanned or closed; and (b) on which days and at what times? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
