My question is addressed to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Ageing. Why has the government commissioned a legislative consultant to prepare a report on scientific advances in technology involving embryonic stem cells when the Lockhart legislation review committee has already conducted a study of this kind—its literature review? I also ask the minister if the government supports any of the recommendations contained in the Lockhart reviews.
