Mr Speaker, I have a question to you under standing order 105(b). On 14 June 2005, two days short of two years ago, I asked the Prime Minister question No. 1673 on notice seeking to know how many National Water Initiative projects had been approved at that time. Could you write to the Prime Minister seeking reasons for the delay in answering this question? Could you also write to the relevant ministers seeking reasons for the delay in answering the 37 questions which I asked nine months ago on 12 September 2006 and the 171 questions which I asked on 14 September 2006, which remain unanswered? It may suit the convenience of the House if I provide details of these questions to the clerks rather than identify each of them now.

I thank the member for Wills. I would be happy to follow up his request.
