MRS CARNELL: Yes, thank you, Mr Connolly. I would like to quote from a document, which I will seek leave to table, from McCann and Associates. It is an authority to provide their report of 15 April 1994 to another party. It says:
Confirm our telephone discussion p.m. 15 April and our fax of that date. We consent to MTAA providing a copy of our report regarding the Kingston Burmah Oil Company site licence arrangements with the ACT Government to Mrs Kate Carnell MLA for the purpose of her tabling it in the ACT Legislative Assembly.
I seek leave to table that document.
Leave granted.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE
MR CORNWELL: Madam Speaker, I raise a matter under standing order 118A. I have referred the Treasurer to my question on notice No. 1143, which was due to be answered on 15 January. I ask the Treasurer: Can the Minister provide an answer today or, if not, indicate to the Assembly when the answer will be provided?
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, I will just have to check up on which question it was.
Mr Cornwell: It related to government credit cards.
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, I inform members that I have a record of questions which I have not answered, and this one does not appear amongst them. I will seek advice on that matter, Mr Cornwell, and advise the Assembly as quickly as I can.
PAPER
MR BERRY: I seek leave to present a paper.
Mr Kaine: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. I draw your attention to standing order 211 and I ask you: Is Mr Berry presenting this paper as either a Minister or the Speaker? I do not think he is either.
MADAM SPEAKER: Standing order 211 refers to presenting papers without leave, Mr Kaine. With leave, he can do it. He has to ask for leave.
Mr Kaine: Madam Speaker, the standing order is quite specific. It states that papers may be presented by a Minister or the Speaker. Mr Berry is not either.
MADAM SPEAKER: No. Mr Kaine, listen to me. If I present a paper or a Minister presents a paper, we do not need to seek leave of the Assembly. If you or Mr Berry wants to present a paper, you need to seek leave of the Assembly. Mr Berry is asking for permission of the Assembly to present a paper. You are free to say no.
Leave not granted.
