ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

SPEAKER OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 121

Legislative Assembly - Tuesday Night Sittings

MR CORNWELL - asked the Speaker on notice on 12 May 1992 -What was the cost in full-time and part-time staff salaries of the Tuesday night sittings of the First Assembly:

MADAM SPEAKER - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

Based on a survey of ten Tuesday night sittings where the average adjournment time was 10.20 pm, an average cost per sitting is $1500. This figure includes overtime, meal allowances and cab fares and are based on both Secretariat staff and Members staff.

As there were 48 Tuesday night sittings in the First Assembly, an approximate cost based on the assumptions outlined above would have resulted in an overall cost for the 3 year period of the First Assembly of approximately $72,000.
