Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): Supplementary, given the minister is going to make that inquiry, if I may.

The SPEAKER: Yes.

Ms CHAPMAN: Will the minister also confirm if there is any net increased revenue proposed to be received as a result of the change from annual to monthly debit, when you bring that information back to the house?

The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:08): From recollection, I think over the forward estimates, for at least the first year, or maybe the first two years, the projections are that there is an impost on government and, from recollection, from there on there may be a benefit to government, but I will again return to the house with an answer.
