          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:05):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Has the minister received advice from his department that crown law recommended that, to avoid conflicts of interest, he should get another minister to approve grants to sports clubs that he or a member of his family are involved in, as members, ambassadors or patrons, or that are in his electorate?</text>

WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:05):</by>  I need to check to see whether I have had crown law advice, but my practice, from the best of my memory, is that when I have grants to sign off on I get another minister to do it for grants that are in my electorate. That is something I have done consistently since I became minister. I know that the Minister for Infrastructure and minister Holloway in another place have done that consistently for me.</text>
