Administration and Procedure—Standing Committee

Statement by chair

MR RATTENBURY (Molonglo): Pursuant to standing order 246A I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure. The Select Committee on Estimates 2010-2011 recommended:

… that the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure investigate and advise the Assembly on:

the effectiveness of the select committee model; and

the adequacy of procedural guidelines for estimates inquiries and whether amendments to standing orders or a more detailed referral motion are warranted in the future.

The committee has discussed the issues raised by the recommendation but has not reached a resolution. To assist the committee with this discussion, the secretariat prepared the following documents: a briefing paper outlining possible models for the conduct of estimates inquiries; draft detailed referral of estimates to select committee; and draft referral of estimates to standing committees of the Legislative Assembly.

I table the following documents for the information of all members and leave the matter for the Assembly to resolve:
