Territory and Municipal Services Directorate—fire management unit
MR SMYTH: My question is to the Minister for Territory and Municipal Services. Minister, on 28 June 2011, I asked you a question without notice on a proposal to restructure the fire management unit within your directorate. You noted, in part, that the role of the manager of this unit had changed substantially.
On 29 June 2011, the Assembly agreed to a motion which asked you to report on various matters related to the structure and operations of the fire management unit within TAMS. Minister, what is the status of your report in response to the Assembly’s motion of 29 June asking for certain information about the fire management unit?
MR CORBELL: I thank Mr Smyth for the question. My recollection of the Assembly’s resolution is that it required me to report prior to any action being taken
