Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources (Dr. Woods)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 22 and 24 together.

I last outlined the position in this matter to the House on 25 March 1999.

I am still awaiting the report from the task force which has informed me that I should have it shortly. I will arrange for its publication as soon as possible after its receipt by me.
