Lucas, Hon. R.I.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:44): I have a supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: It is difficult to get a supplementary out of that, but I will listen.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: Has the Hon. Rob Lucas been available for the meetings scheduled for the committee that have had to be cancelled due to lack of quorum?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:44): I have been available for a number of dates which I have made available in my diary, as other members have done in relation to their diaries. The matter of getting the total committee together is really up to the secretary of the committee. As the honourable member would know, as I sit on a number of committees, some of which she sits on, I make myself available as a minister for the important work of those particular committees. My office would make available certain times and will continue to make available certain times.
