I understand that Wood MacKenzie is a commercial service provider for the energy, mining and metals industry, that it evaluates economic indicators as well as market supply and demand price trends, and that it publishes its findings annually which are available to its subscribers for a fee.

As neither I nor my Department subscribe to this service, I do not have a copy of the report referenced by the Deputy. I have been advised in any event that the intellectual property rights to these reports belong to Wood MacKenzie and that contractually the reports cannot be shared by their clients with any third party.
