Mr Speaker, to follow on from the question of the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Trade to you, will you liaise with the President of the Senate and consider issuing a survey to all members and senators—and to the members of the staff of the House because they are also being confronted with these inadequate catering arrangements—on the quality, the presentation and the availability of food? Could the Speaker liaise and issue a survey on this matter, please?

As I indicated to the parliamentary secretary, these are matters that will be raised with the House Committee and they will be dealt with in a way that ensures that there is appropriate and vast consultation.

Mr Speaker, lest anyone gets the wrong idea, I had a meal in the dining room last night and it was terrific. I congratulate the caterers for the good job they did.
