Hannover Messe

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:49): Further supplementary: did the department ask businesses to pay a fee to attend this trade mission and, if so, how much was it?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:49): I don't believe they did because one of the people there said perhaps we should—if we come back for another visit that maybe we look at taking a bigger stand and ask people to pay a fee. I will double-check that for the honourable member.
