Senator Singh did give me advance notice of this question, although I did not receive it until about an hour or so before question time. In the time that has been available to me, I have asked my department and my office to look into the matter. The preliminary advice I have received is that, of the 304 questions that were taken on notice during the February estimates during the Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee hearings, there are seven remaining with me to be cleared. I do not know what those are—and I think there may be some with the Minister for Justice as well—so I will have a look into that and I will deal with them as soon as I reasonably can.
