MR QUINLAN (continuing):

I ask for leave to make a brief statement.

Leave granted.

MR QUINLAN: Mr Speaker, as required by the Financial Management Act, I have tabled an instrument issued under section 16 of the act. A detailed statement of reasons for the transfer of responsibility for a function between departments is also tabled.

I commend the paper to the Assembly.
