Mrs IRWIN (3:30 PM) —Mr Speaker, my question relates to the practice of the Speaker presenting a schedule listing government responses to House of Representatives and joint committee reports. Page 689 of House of Representatives Practice states that Speakers have followed the practice of presenting that schedule to the House at approximately six-monthly intervals. And:

Subsequently the Leader of the House presents a list of parliamentary committee reports showing the stage reached with the government response in each case.

As I am interested in the government’s response to the report of the Standing Committee on Family and Community Services Roads to recovery, an inquiry which began in March 2000 and the report to which was tabled on 8 September 2003, I ask if you can give any indication of when your next schedule listing government responses will be tabled.


The SPEAKER —I thank the member for Fowler. I will follow that matter up, and I am sure we will be able to report shortly.
