My question is to the Minister for Human Services. I refer to the minister's previous answers on the Parkinson inquiry. The Defence Security Manual states:

Defence personnel … must not carry official information or classified material, including laptops and Portable Electronic Devices (PED), if not travelling on official business.

Has the minister informed the Parkinson inquiry whether he used a government issued laptop, portable electronic device or mobile phone during his private trip to China? Will he also provide this information to the parliament?

I thank the member for his question, and I refer the member to my statements over the previous days.
