Hon ROBIN SCOTT
to the minister representing the Minister for Housing:

(2) How many of those communities receive deliveries of bottled water?
(3) Will the minister list the communities that receive bottled water, showing in each case the estimated population and the quantity of bottled water delivered to the community during the last 12-month period for which figures are available to the minister?
(4) Is the minister aware of any other agency of government or any other organisation that delivers bottled water in bulk quantities to remote communities?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON
replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Under RAESP, the Department of Communities currently supplies water to 78 remote communities.
(2) Eleven communities receive deliveries of bottled water.
(3) The answer is in tabular form so I seek leave to have it incorporated into
Hansard
.
