Statement pursuant to the order of

the Senate of 26 June 2000

 

 

 

 

These amendments are framed as requests because they are to a bill which appropriates money for the ordinary annual services of the government.

 

 

 

Statement by the Clerk of the Senate pursuant

to the order of the Senate of 26 June 2000

 

 

 

As this is a bill appropriating money for the ordinary annual services of the government, the amendments are moved as requests. This is in accordance with the precedents of the Senate.

 

Whether all of the purposes of expenditure now covered by this bill are actually ordinary annual services is a matter that has been under examination by the Appropriations and Staffing Committee.
