them the courtesy of letting them know about three days before the festival.
MRS NOLAN: I ask a supplementary question. Given that the committee that made the recommendations in relation to this area of funding met some four to six weeks beforehand, could you tell me why there was such a lengthy delay?
MRS GRASSBY: No. I am sorry, Mr Deputy Speaker. I cannot tell Mrs Nolan why there was a lengthy delay about it. By the time I got it, it was about two or three days before it had to be signed, and I do not know why there was a lengthy delay at all.
Gaming
DR KINLOCH: Mr Deputy Speaker, my question is to the Chief Minister in her role as Attorney-General. Just as a preface, I would thank her for supplementary information in relation to a question I asked yesterday. I refer the Chief Minister to the undertaking she gave in response to my question of 29 June 1989, that she would seek further information from the ACT Gaming and Liquor Authority in respect of the non-settlement of Pub-Club TAB betting in the sum of approximately a quarter of a million dollars at the Molonglo Tavern on 8 April 1989. Could the Chief Minister advise the Assembly of the subsequent results of her inquiries into that matter?
MS FOLLETT: Mr Deputy Speaker, I thank Dr Kinloch for again drawing that matter to my attention as I did give an undertaking at the end of June to provide him with full information. I will indeed do so. I am afraid I do not have the detail of the matter available to me at the moment but I do undertake to provide it to Dr Kinloch and to the Assembly during this week's sitting.
Libraries
MR JENSEN: My question is directed to the Minister for Housing and Urban Services. I refer the Minister to a consultant's report on management structure of joint use libraries in the ACT, which I understand is due to be completed by the end of August. As a community member of the area and a member of the friends of that particular library who was interviewed by the consultants, I am interested, as are other members of the public, in seeing this report. Can the Minister advise when the report is to be made available to the public?
MRS GRASSBY: As I have not seen the report yet, I cannot tell you, but as soon as the report comes across my desk I will be making it available.
