Any decision to dispose of part or all of Lyons Estate will be made when the review findings have been approved by the governing authority. In line with best practice, the review will be conducted by the university, which will be guided by international experts in the relevant areas. The brief for the review body will require it to consider the need for the university to retain access to suitable field facilities for agriculture and veterinary science on a continuing basis. It is expected that the implementation of the review group's findings will be realised in the medium term. It should be noted that the university is fundamentally assessing its priorities, developments and facilities in the sciences, in accordance with the Government's policy in this area. I have given Senator Burke as much help as I can this evening.
