Mr President, I apologise in advance as this is slightly
longer than my normal questions, but I hope you will understand why.

it was answered in the Parliament?
(3) After the
person referred to in (1) prepared an answer, did anyone in the department
subsequently make any changes to the answer?
(4) If yes to (3),
what changes were made?
(5) When did the
department first become aware that the answer was incorrect?
(6) Will the
Minister for Transport table a copy of all versions of proposed answers to
question without notice 323 provided by the Department of Transport to the
minister's office; and, if not, why not?
(7) Does the
department have any explanation for why it provided an incorrect answer?
