          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Norwood) (14:47):</by>  My question is again to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conversation. When was the minister first made aware of the potential for legal action against Nyrstar, and what was the alleged breach of their licence conditions which led the EPA to provide briefings to the minister?</text>
