Government Responses

When six months has passed from the date of a committee report being tabled in Parliament, the Committee shall deem overdue any government responses and executive minutes pertaining to this Committee’s reports. This aligns with the resolution of the House of Representatives adopted on 29 September 2010 regarding Government responses to committee reports.

Information on how to frame a Government response to the recommendations of a Committee Report can be found on the Department of Finance website.
