Dear Mr Speaker and Mr President

Parliamentary Librarian Annual Report 2009–10

I have pleasure in submitting the annual report of the Parliamentary Librarian for the year ending 30 June 2010, as required by subsection 65(3) of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999.
That provision requires the report to be presented to the Presiding Officers after the end of each financial year, and be included in the annual report on the activities of the Department of Parliamentary Services made under paragraph 65(1)(c) of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999.

Section 38H of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 requires that the Parliamentary Librarian give a report on the performance of the functions of the Parliamentary Librarian to the Joint Standing Committee on the Parliamentary Library at least once every financial year. I confirm that this report has been provided to the Joint Standing Committee on the Parliamentary Library.

Yours sincerely

Roxanne Missingham
Parliamentary Librarian
