SANDERSON:</by>  During question time today I was asked, 'Has the minister's office played any role in formulating and distributing the statement issued by her chief executive a short time ago?'. I responded, 'No.' I can confirm that neither I nor my office were involved in formulating the chief executive's statement. However, since question time I have been advised that following the CE's statement being distributed by the department electronically to media outlets a copy was sent to a staff member in the Premier's office by my office.</text>
