AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question. I do not have the
specific detail with respect to the number of clandestine laboratories that
have been uncovered this year as opposed to last year, but I am happy to get
that information for the member.
Mrs M.H. Roberts :
Don't you know if it is up or down from last year?
Mrs L.M. HARVEY : I
think if the member would listen to my answer instead of interjecting over it,
she would have heard that I said I do not have the statistics for this year
compared with last year, and I will get them.
Mrs M.H. Roberts :
Do you know whether they have gone up or down? No, you do not. Why don't
you just say you do not know? Did you have a briefing or not? That was my
question.
Mrs L.M. HARVEY :
Did I just tell you, member? Mr Speaker —
The SPEAKER :
Member for Midland, if you want to ask a supplementary question, I will enable
you to do that.
Mrs L.M. HARVEY :
Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I was trying to say to the member, I am happy to
provide the member with that information. If she would like to put the question
on notice —
Ms M.M. Quirk interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Member for Girrawheen!
Mrs L.M. HARVEY : —
I will give her the specific information about the number of clan labs that
have been discovered this year to compare with the number last year.
