Department of the Premier and Cabinet advises:
The administration of entitlements for Members of Parliament is currently divided between the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and Parliament House (Parliamentary Services Department). To be able to provide an answer further clarification is required in regard to the above question. For example it is not clear what the Member considers to be "expenses within the electorate". The Member may wish to note that some of the information (parts 2 (c) (i)-(ii)) are already publicly available either as a Legislative Assembly tabled paper or on the Department's website at www.dpc.wa.gov.au
