Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 30, 42, 156, 167 and 187 together.

The interdepartmental review group on the disabled drivers' and disabled passengers' (tax concessions) scheme was established in 1998. I received the report of the group in September 2002 and the issues raised in it are currently under consideration. The report is a substantive one and needs to be studied carefully. On completion of this process, I envisage that the report will be made available publicly.
