Senator ROBERT RAY —I direct my question to Senator Kemp, the Minister representing the Acting Minister for Administrative Services. Did the department on the change of government draw to the attention of all new members of parliament the requirements and responsibilities in using Cabcharge cards? Is the minister aware that many new members in Sydney used Cabcharge cards when they were not entitled to, noting that the entitlement is only alternate to Commonwealth car use? How many members of parliament have repaid improperly claimed Cabcharge charges and, if you do not have that information, can you bring it back in two weeks time on the next day of sitting?

Senator KEMP —Senator Robert Ray has raised a number of detailed questions. I will take that question on notice.

Senator Hill —Madam President, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper .
