MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT - EQUIPMENT PROVISION
I refer to the provision by government of equipment to members of Parliament to carry out their duties. (1) Are there any State Supply Commission policies that would prevent members of one political party but not members of another political party receiving preferential treatment; and, if so, what are those policies? (2) If not, will the commission give consideration to developing such policies; and, if not, why not? Hon KATE DOUST
