The answer is lengthy so I seek leave to table the question and to have it incorporated in Hansard . Leave granted. The following material was incorporated - I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. 1. The document 2005/06 Review of Government Tariffs, Fees and Charges - Guidance on Fees , was provided to agencies by Department of Treasury and Finance on 10 October 2005. This document refers to the requirement under Sections 53(b) and 55(b) of the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985 , for agencies to undertake regular reviews (at least annually) of their tariffs, fees and charges. This document outlines the objectives of review as follows: The objectives of regular reviews are to ensure that government tariffs, fees and charges: (a) are reflective of movements in the inflation rate (expected to be advised in early November); (b) achieve, or are making adequate progress towards achieving, full cost recovery, where appropriate; (c) are not over recovering costs. To provide confidence in this regard, the Chief Executive Officer and Minister must certify (see Attachment J), among other things, that each agency’s fees do not over cost recover. Details must be provided of any exceptions; (d) are fair, equitable and recognise household capacity to pay; (e) are competitive, in comparison to service providers locally and in other jurisdictions; and (f) are comprehensive, such that new tariffs, fees and charges are designed and introduced in a timely manner as considered appropriate by Government. As a minimum, agencies are expected to ensure compliance with the Premier’s Circular 2004/05 [1] , Costing and Pricing Government Outputs and review the extent to which their tariffs, fees and charges structure is meeting objectives (a) to (f) as outlined above.”
