          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:40):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure. Has any of the work originally awarded to Laing O'Rourke as part of the rail electrification project been taken over by the department and given to other contractors? If so, why, what components are impacted and will there be increased cost or delay to the project?</text>
