GOVERNMENT RESPONSE TO PAC REPORT NO. 7 OF

1993

Madam Speaker, Members will recall that during the last sitting period, I gave a commitment to bring forward as soon as possible those Government responses to Assembly Committee reports that were overdue, in other words, where the Committees report was presented to the Assembly more than three months ago.

I am pleased to say that today in the Assembly the Government will be presenting nine responses to Assembly Committee reports, the first of which I will table shortly.

I had also hoped to be in a position today to present the remaining three outstanding Government responses to the following Committee reports:

• the Conservation, Heritage and Environment Committee Report on Renewable Energy;

• the Legal Affairs Committee Report No. 3 on the Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992; and

• the Legal Affairs Committee Report on the Crimes (Amendment) Bill 1993.

However, in relation to the first two of these reports, the Governments response has been delayed as a direct result of the recent changes to Ministerial responsibility, and the need for the new Minister to examine the issues to which the Government will respond.

With regard to the Legal Affairs Committee Report on the Crimes (Amendment) Bill 1993, I understand that consultation is presently being undertaken with Mr Humphries Office prior to finalisation of the Governments response.
