Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 3 Hansard (8 April) . . Page.. 696 ..

MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, on 27 February I took on notice a question from Ms Horodny concerning the incineration of chemicals at the Mitchell incinerator. I table the answer to the question.

MR STEFANIAK: Mr Speaker, on 27 February 1997, Mr Osborne asked me a question relating to emergency financial assistance for families. I took a supplementary question on notice. I subsequently provided Mr Osborne with an answer in writing. I table the answer. I would now seek leave to have this answer incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 1.

MS REILLY: Mr Speaker, I seek an explanation under standing order 118A. I ask the Minister for Housing for an explanation for the delay in answering question on notice No. 388 relating to the Kick Start housing assistance program.

MR STEFANIAK: I understand that has been answered. I signed that off to the member yesterday. I do not know that there was too much of a delay there. Certainly, I was concerned to ensure that the figures were accurate and that the specific question asked by the member was answered. That actually has been answered now.

MR SPEAKER: Yes, I appreciate it has been answered. But it is still relevant for Ms Reilly or any other member to ask about the reason for the delay. You have given an explanation, as I understood it, that you were checking the accuracy of figures.

MR STEFANIAK: Indeed, Mr Speaker; yes.

MR SPEAKER: It is perfectly in order for a member to ask that question, even though the question has been answered. I think it was Ms Horodny who raised that some time ago.
