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.
