I
thank the member for some notice of the question. The following has been

yet been requested to provide a valuation at this stage.
(b) The
Department of Lands is currently negotiating disposal of this asset. The
valuation will remain commercial-in-confidence, given the current negotiations
with the preferred proponent.
(c)–(e) The
Valuer-General has not yet been requested to provide a valuation for disposal
purposes at this stage.
(2) Any
valuations for the aforementioned sites will remain commercial-in-confidence
until the site is sold.

to the Minister for Environment.
(4) This question should be referred
to the Minister for Health.
(5) No.
