Vol. 384 No. 5

Written Answers. - Departmental Requirements Imposed on Business.

148.

asked the Minister for Energy the regulation, practice and information requirement which has been modified by his Department as a result of the decision of the Government last May that each Minister review all such regulations, practices and information requirements which have a cost impact on business and industry.

Following a review of my Department's regulations, practices and information requirements which have a cost impact on business and industry, I arranged for a reduction in the amount of statistical information which coal companies are now required to provide in relation to coal stocks. I have also simplified the arrangements relating to the issue of prospecting licenses.

A number of other possible modifications have been identified but these can only be implemented when the legal and other implications have been fully examined.
