Mr Speaker, I seek the indulgence of the chair to add to an answer.
Mark Vaile Lyne, National Party, Minister for Trade
In question time today there were a couple of issues raised by the member for Griffith that I indicated I would seek a response to, and I now have that response. Firstly, I have been advised that, from time to time, DFAT met with AWB representatives to discuss general wheat trade issues, including in December 1999. On the second issue, I have been advised that Bob Bowker has no recollection of a specific meeting with Mr Davidson Kelly in September 2000.
