LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEES

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:00): I direct my question to the President of the Legislative Council. Mr President, will you inform the council of the cost of each select committee established by this Legislative Council over the past three financial years?

The PRESIDENT (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his question.

The Hon. T.J. Stephens: Surely, you wouldn't have that information to hand.

The PRESIDENT: In response to that out of order interjection, normally if people are going to ask the President a question, they have the courtesy to talk to the President beforehand. But I can inform the council that $162,242.75 has been the expenditure on those committees. Perhaps it would be easier if I requested leave to have this statistical document inserted in Hansard without my going through it which shows the individual expenditure of each of those select committees, so I seek leave to do that.

Leave granted.
