LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL QUESTIONS.

ра

светри

THE INTRODUCTION OF WEEKLY SITTINGS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL

THE REDUCTION OF OFFICIAL MEMBERS AND THE INCREASE IN THE OVERALL

SIZE OF THE COUNCIL HAVE POINTED TO THE NEED FOR A REVIEW OF OUP

PROCEDUPES FOR HANDLING QUESTIONS. WE WISH TO ENSURE THAT

QUESTIONS ARE GIVEN ABSOLUTE PRIORITY OVER OTHEP BUSINESS AND

THAT OUR SYSTEM IS TAILORED TO THAT END.

2. AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR:

(A) A COPY OF ANY WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PROCEDURES FOR

QUESTIONS ISSUED IN THE FCO: AND

(B) EXAMPLES OF THE DOCUMENTATION USED TO CIRCULATE QUESTIONS

(WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE OFFICE USES DISTINCTIVELY COLOURED FOLDERS

FOP THIS PURPOSE).
