COMMITTEE REPORTS - GOVERNMENT’S RESPONSE
I draw the Leader of the House’s attention to a new section at the back of the Legislative Council notice paper called “Government Responses”. It lists reports that have been provided by committees of this house to the government and for which the house has not received a response from the government within the required four months. Standing order 337 requires that reports be responded to within four months of the report being provided to the appropriate minister. Will the Leader of the House tell me what is likely to happen to the three reports that have not been responded to? Hon KIM CHANCE

I do not know; this matter has not been raised with me before. I would have thought that the government had responded to “Report No 10: Chemical Use by the Agriculture Protection Board 1970-1985” on numerous occasions. I cannot help much with regard to the petition on primary midwifery care. With regard to “Report No 23: Sessional Report: Second Session of Thirty-sixth Parliament”, does anyone respond to the sessional report of the second session of the Thirty-sixth Parliament? Hon George Cash interjected. Hon KIM CHANCE : Yes. It is an interesting question. I feel sure a response has been made on a number of occasions to the first of the reports. If the Leader of the Opposition is interested, I will look into the matter.
