Production of documents

Suburban Rail Loop

The Clerk: I table a letter from the Attorney-General dated 3 March 2025 in response to a resolution of the Council on 5 February 2025 on the motion of Mr Davis relating to the Suburban Rail Loop risk register. The letter states that the date for the production of documents does not allow sufficient time to respond to item 2(a) of the order and that the government will endeavour to provide a response as soon as possible. The letter further states that item 2(b) of the order prospectively seeks documents not yet in existence and therefore is not within the powers of the Parliament.
