• 31 Jul 2024 in Senate: What I am proposing to the Chairperson of the Liaison Committee, your colleague, is that we need the CPAC) and County Public Investments and Special Funds Committee (CPISF) to be given more resources to do county visits.

With this and the Standing Orders, perhaps you should advise us on what should happen when a report ... view
