Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Medical Bureau for Road Safety has statutory responsibility for the supply and testing of the roadside drug testing devices.  I have therefore forwarded the request to the Bureau for direct reply.

I would ask the deputy to contact my office if a response is not received within 10 working days.

The referred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
