Tabling of Documents — Spring Hill Corrections Facility
I seek leave to table an amended breakdown of iwi expenditure relating to Spring Hill Corrections Facility, which was originally tabled on 23 March 2004. This amended breakdown is part of a report I released last month.
💬 Mr SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that course being followed?
I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Can you clarify for me whether the document is an amendment or correction of an answer? I am unclear as to what the Minister is asking us to do.
💬 Mr SPEAKER: It was nothing to do with a question. It was to do with a document that was tabled.
Just as clarification, then, was the document that was tabled inaccurate in the first place, and is the Minister now tabling a corrected version?
💬 Mr SPEAKER: I ask the Hon Paul Swain to take a call.
It is not directly to do with the answer, but I said I would table a document, as part of the answer. I tabled the document. Further work was done, and new figures appeared. This amended table is part of the report I released recently.
Document, by leave, laid on the Table of the House.
