MS FOLLETT - The answer to the Members question is as follows:

Records to answer the Members question are maintained on behalf of all Ministers by the Chief Ministers Department, and are available only from 1 December 1991. Records kept prior to this date do not contain sufficient detail to allow a meaningful response.

Information is maintained in respect of each Ministers combined portfolio responsibilities and not in respect of the separate elements of the portfolios. Accordingly, the questions have been answered at whole of portfolio level for each Minister.

Parts (1) and (3) of the question have been answered so as to be consistent with the information supplied to answer parts (2) and (4). Therefore it is assumed that parts (1) and (3) request information about the total cost of written transcripts, audio cassettes and video cassettes.

(1) In the period 1 December 1991 to 30 June 1992 - $248

(2) (a) 1 (b) 3 (c)

(3) $2088
