RENEWABLE ENERGY

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Finance. Has the government abandoned its target of buying 50 per cent of its energy from renewable sources and, if so, has it adopted a lower cap for renewable energy purchase and, if so, what is it?

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) (15:01): I will come back to the house with a detailed response.
