Amended answers to Oral Questions — Question No. 3 to Minister, 30 March
Time unknown
On 30 March, in answer to a question from the Hon Tony Ryall, I advised the House that a number of people, including “that man”—referring to Mr Haydn Solomon—were employed as Department of Corrections staff in order to get the consultation going. I have since been advised that none of the individuals listed in the schedule that I tabled on 23 March have been employees of the department, including Haydn Solomon. They were, in fact, engaged by the department on a contract for services. I apologise to the House for the error.
