QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Government Service - Staff Numbers

MR KAINE: Madam Speaker, I direct a question to the Chief Minister and Treasurer in her capacity as the Minister responsible for the public service. Does the Chief Minister believe that to wait for 10 months for the answer to a question on notice is reasonable? If not, when does the Chief Minister propose to answer a question of mine dated 8 April last year to do with staffing numbers in the ACT Government Service, which question remains on the notice paper?

MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, no, I do not believe that it is reasonable. I will check up on that matter and provide Mr Kaine with an answer at the first opportunity.

Lanyon High School

MS SZUTY: Madam Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister for Education, Mr Wood. There have been calls for the opening of Lanyon High School to proceed as quickly as possible, given the number of students living in Gordon, Conder and Banks likely to attend the local high school. Can the Minister inform the Assembly whether Lanyon High School is likely to be included in the 1993-94 forward design program for capital works, ensuring the completion of its construction by the beginning of the 1996 school year?

MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, I understand that the planning for Lanyon High School is on the forward design program. As we assess the high school needs in that area, we have an expectation that it will progress. I will check the detail and, in absolute accuracy, advise what the situation is.
