Role
of the committee
The Standing Committee on Appropriations and Staffing
determines the amounts for inclusion in the parliamentary appropriation bills
and reports to the Senate on its determinations prior to the Senate’s
consideration of those bills. The committee also examines matters affecting the
staffing and administration of the Department of the Senate, including
proposals to vary the staffing structure, and other matters referred to it by
the Senate. It makes an annual report to the Senate on the operations of the
Senate’s appropriations and staffing and related matters (Standing Order
19(3)). The committee has the explicit capacity to scrutinise security funding
and administration and to advise the President and the Senate as appropriate.
Under a resolution of the Senate agreed to in 1987 the committee also examines
proposed changes in the structure and responsibilities of the parliamentary
departments.
