MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (5.14): I will be brief, but I will be as persistent as Ms Szuty has been on the question raised in the Estimates Committee report on the size of schools. In three brief sentences the Estimates Committee report suggested quite clearly that there was a problem with large school size. I said then that that was no way to proceed in a committee report - to go on and make recommendations, in this case quite substantial recommendations, on an unfounded basis - and I want to repeat that point. I have not gone back to check exactly what I said at the time, but it is my clear memory that I said that I do not think this needs to be or ought to be referred to the Social Policy Committee; rather, that if someone had a worry about it, then it might be referred to the Social Policy Committee. I want to put that on the record.
