Questions without notice and ministers statements

Written responses

 The PRESIDENT (18:07): Before we adjourn I would like to deal with an issue from question time. I refer to a question without notice directed to Mr Somyurek today by Ms Crozier. I promised the house I would return with a ruling as to whether or not the minister should provide a written response. I have given consideration as to whether the question is best directed to the Minister for Local Government or the Minister for Health. I acknowledge the minister’s response at the time that this is a question that should be directed to another minister. On that basis I will order a written response from the relevant minister within two business days not counting today, given the time of day, so a response is required by Tuesday, 20 August.

A member: President, which minister?

The PRESIDENT: The relevant minister is the Minister for Health.
