Cuts to Legislative Assembly Committees Budget
1. What is the explanation for the 37% cuts, which equates to $252,000 cuts to the Legislative Assembly’s Committees budget in 1996/97.
ANSWER
Final allocation to Program Committees in the 1996/97 Department of the Legislative Assembly budget is $425 700, a reduction of $183 300 or 30% on the 1995/96 allocation of $609 000. The figure of 37% in the question is apparently derived from comparing the 1996/97 allocation with the actual expenditure in 1995/96 of $677 882.
The allocation to the Committees program in the 1996-97 Budget was considered adequate for the purposes described at pp 26-27 of Budget Paper No. 2 Part 1, in the context of the Government’s priorities.
