Procedure and Privileges Committee (2001 - 2005)· 5 April 2000general_report

This report from the WA Legislative Assembly's Procedure and Privileges Committee outlines recommendations for implementing a new system of portfolio-based Standing Committees. It focuses on staffing, accommodation, funding, and remuneration for committee members. The report anticipates increased scrutiny of government and calls for appropriate resources to support the committees' work.

Impact

The report affects Members of Parliament, parliamentary staff, the Speaker, the Treasurer, and potentially the executive government, as the new committee system aims to increase parliamentary oversight. The public may also be affected through increased government accountability.
