FINANCIAL PROCEDURE -
The Acting CoLONIAL SECRETARY: -1 beg to move the following resolution which stands in my name:-
Resolved that the following rule be inserted in the Standing Rules, and Orders of the Legislative Council im mediately after Büle 16:-
16A. The Governor may at any time réfer direct to the Finance Committee any proposal concerning additions. expenditure not already provided for in the annual estimates.
The practice has been for financial minutes to be referred by resolution or the whole Council to the Finance Com mittce. The Council, however, is for many weeks at a time not in session and so comes about the unavoidable necessity of actually incurring expenditure, or liability for expenditure, before it is possible to get the Finance Committee together. Obviously it is desirable that the legislature should approve of ex penditure before any liability is under- taken and so it is proposed to put on record in the Standing Rules and Orders this new order that E.E. The Governor may at any time refer "direct to the Finance Committee any proposal concern, ing additional expenditure not already provided for in the annual estimates. That means that H.E. The Governor will send a message to the Finance Committee and the Finance Committee can sit at any time to consider the proposal-in public for these is no question of private Bessions and can recommend them to the whole Council.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, SOConded, and the resolution was passed.
