I think that makes sense. I know that Mr Connolly, my colleague, from time to time has taken action against wood merchants who give too little fuel for what has been paid. Appropriate consideration can be given here and I will take up the matter with Mr Connolly to see whether we may progress that amongst the fuel merchants.

I thank members for their comments. I think this is an important step, and we will take further steps in the future to ensure that the air is as clean as it possibly can be. I might add one thing. We have to decide in a short space of time whether we will allow fuel burning stoves in those new West Belconnen suburbs. This has been raised in the committee looking at the draft variation for West Belconnen. Maybe people ought to comment to me in the next month or so on their views and whether we want to take that step. It is something I am about to consider.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.

Bill agreed to.
