The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Administrative and Information Services a question about electricity costs.

Leave granted.

The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: In response to an earlier question asked by the Hon. Sandra Kanck, the Treasurer indicated that the Minister for Administrative and Information Services is currently involved in negotiations in relation to the cost of electricity for 300 contestable government bodies. I ask the minister:

1. How many megawatts of power are consumed by these 300 contestable customers?

2. What is the current cost of electricity for these 300 customers?

3. What is the peak demand of these customers at any one time?

4. Will the minister also indicate-he might need to refer this to another minister-whether the education department or individual schools are included; and, if so, will they be compensated for any increased costs that might arise?

The Hon. R.D. LAWSON (Minister for Administrative and Information Services): I will take the honourable member's questions on notice and bring back a reply.
