OPERATION DISTRACTION

The Hon. R.B. SUCH (Fisher) (14:40): It is, sir. My question is to the Minister for Police. Is he aware that police are exempt from the law relating to driving while using a mobile phone? When I queried this, I was told they are highly trained as drivers.

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) (14:40): That may be the case, and I will determine to my satisfaction whether that should continue to remain the case.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary from the member for Frome.
