HADDON STOREY asked the Minister for Conservation and Environment, for the Minister for Food and Agriculture: (a) Has the Minister or the Minister's department made use of the services of VIC IMAGE at any time since 1 January 1990; if so, what services were performed by VIe IMAGE and did any part of the services include taking photographs of the Minister? (b) What was the cost of each service provided by VIC IMAGE and who met such cost? Hon. B. T. PULL EN (Minister for Conservation and Environment) - The answer supplied by the Minister for Food and Agriculture is: The format in which records are kept in the department make preparation of material to respond to the honourable member's question extremely time consuming. For example, the AGMEDIA Service makes extensive use of VIC IMAGE, and to trace the nature of each individual service as well as the cost and the source of funds would require manual checking of individual invoices and I am not prepared to devote scarce resources to this task. Considerable effort has already been spent on examining ways to provide the information requested, however no simple solution has been discovered.

The Hon. D. R. WHITE (Minister for Manufacturing and Industry Development) - The answer supplied by the Minister for Major Projects Is: I am advised by the Major Projects Unit that the information requested by the honourable member is information which, if it exists, would be held on individual personnel files on public servants; or, in the case of consultants, on the curriculum vitae documentation accompanying their submissions. There would be significant difficulty in accessing that information and, even if it were available, it would not be appropriate for me to provide it, without the express permission of any individuals concerned.
