Prison Capacity

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (15:28): Can I ask my question while that is taking place, sir, without defying you? My supplementary to the minister is: has the government used police cells at any time to hold sentenced prisoners?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:29): I am aware that we move prisoners from location to location for a whole range of reasons. I will have to confirm that with the department.
