Australian Senate Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of Bills - Reports |
Responsiveness to requests for further information
The committee recently resolved that it will report regularly to the Senate about responsiveness to its requests for information. This is consistent with recommendation 2 of the committee’s final report on its Inquiry into the future role and direction of the Senate Scrutiny of Bills Committee (May 2012).
The issue of responsiveness is relevant to the committee’s scrutiny process, whereby the committee frequently writes to the minister, member or senator who proposed a bill requesting information in order to complete its assessment of the bill against the committee’s scrutiny principles (outlined in standing order 24(1)(a)).
The committee reports on the responsiveness to its requests in relation to (1) bills introduced with the authority of the Government (requests to ministers) and (2) non‑government bills.
