Under standing order 105(b), may I request that you write to the Minister for Foreign Affairs to seek the reason for the delay in answering questions in writing Nos 153 and 292, the former of which has been on the Notice Paper now for 284 days? May I also request that you write to the Minister for Youth and Sport regarding question in writing No. 281 that has been on the Notice Paper for 136 days, and to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, with respect to question No. 320 that has been on the Notice Paper for 113 days?

I thank the member for Mayo. I will write to those ministers this afternoon, and we've got an efficient operation—I can assure you the letters will be being prepared now.
