Hannover Messe

In reply to the Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (30 April 2019).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment): I have been advised:

1. Eight South Australian businesses participated in Hannover Messe. Companies participating in business missions led by the South Australian government expect, and are entitled to, privacy under the terms and conditions of the South Australian government's 'Mission Agreement'.

The Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment advises that in the absence of written permission from companies that participated in trade missions, it is unable to release the requested information.

2. The South Australian government did not ask companies to pay a fee to participate in this business mission.
