Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 14 Hansard (11 December) . . Page.. 4966 ..

Mrs Carnell: I told you that I would give you access.

MR BERRY: I will not tolerate conditional access in a committee. It is up to committees to make decisions about what happens to documents once they receive them. Documents should not be taken conditionally. That was the view of the committee. I am saying to you that this commercial-in-confidence document was signed to put a blanket over the conditions of the deal with commercial-in-confidence. It was signed on the morning to prevent access to it. That was why I was so concerned. It was a bit sneaky, Mrs Carnell, in my view.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Training) (4.42): For the information of members, I present the Government's response to Report No. 5 of 1997 of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs, entitled "Inquiry into the Voluntary Codes of Practice for Liquor Licensees", which was presented to the Assembly on 23 September 1997.
