(Question No. 2464)
Mr Murphy
asked the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 18 September 2003:
Further to answers to questions Nos 1620 to 1635 and 1637 (Hansard, 12 August 2003, page 18283) what are the Executive officers of the Minister's departments and agencies doing to ensure that they do not retain the services of any barrister or solicitor who has previously been made bankrupt.
Mr Anderson
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
On 21 March 2001 the former Attorney-General wrote to me to ask that my Department and agencies within my portfolio take steps not to brief counsel who have become insolvent to avoid their taxation obligations. Following this I issued instructions to my Department and portfolio agencies to comply with the Attorney-General's request.
I should point out that Departmental officers do not conduct litigation. Litigation, which includes the engagement of counsel, is conducted on the Department's behalf by its panel of legal service providers. Members of this panel have been advised of the Attorney-General's requirements as to counsel.
I am not aware of any policy as to the engagement of solicitors.
