REGIONAL BUSINESS

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Small Business. Following the minister's answer to a question earlier today that $30,000 grants have been given to regional development authorities, can the minister confirm that those regional development authorities are also receiving a $585,000 cut as from 1 July?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Small Business) (14:52): The budgets of those agencies are administered by another minister, and I will seek a response and get back to the house.
