48 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Finance if he intends to publish the ASI interdepartmental report; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that publication has been proposed for almost 12 months; and if he will outline the reasons for the delay.

215 Mr. Calleary asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the loss being suffered by a number of people who cannot sell their lands because of ASI designation; if he will outline, (1) the Government's policy in relation to compensation to those in these situations, (2) the criteria being used to establish ASI and (3) the reasons areas established are enlarged and changed without notification being given by his Department to the owners of the land; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 48 and 215 together.
