BUSINESS ENTERPRISE CENTRES

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:06): Has the Office of Small Business and Regional Affairs taken up this matter within DTED on behalf of the BECs?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (15:06): I have not had the issue raised with me. Had it been raised with my office, I certainly would have made inquiries of the department in that regard. If there is an issue, people may well have raised it with the department. I will get on to the issue as soon as question time is over and, if there is any delay, I will find out the reason for it and provide the honourable member with a response.
