MINISTERIAL TRAVEL

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:42): I have a supplementary question arising from the minister's answer. Can the minister indicate on how many of the 18 or 19 days for which he was away did he have official appointments?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:42): Offhand, I am not quite sure, but I think that every day we were not travelling, and apart from the weekends, we had appointments—every day.
