i. The matters, detailed above, referred to the Joint Whips' Forum will be considered by the POA once reports are received thereon. ii. The Review of Members Travel Facilities Policy arose as a result of policy gaps which had been identified, as well as internal requests for information related to the usage of facilities by Members. The review covered matters related to air journeys, travel by dependents, journeys by motor vehicle and the definition of a Member's dependent. On 16 November 2010 the POA referred the matter for further discussion and report to the Quarterly Consultative Forum. The Quarterly Consultative Forum together with the Chief Whips' Forum established a Task Team to deal with the matter. A report on the outcomes of the deliberations of this Task Team has been completed and will be dealt with by the Parliamentary Oversight Authority early in 2013. iii. The proposed Integrated Sustainability Strategy for Parliament was considered by the POA on 30 May 2012. At this meeting it was agreed that political parties would be given an opportunity to engage with the documents before they were again discussed by the Parliamentary Oversight Authority. The Office of the Secretary would, on request of political parties, make available the necessary staff to facilitate presentations to caucuses of political parties on this matter. iv. The Task Team on Travel Facilities, initially established to look at the Members' Travel Facilities Handbook, was requested at the POA meeting of 23 October 2012 to also compile a report on post retirement travel benefits for Members and to formally submit their proposals to the Presiding Officers. The Task Team has completed its report and submitted it to the Presiding Officers. As agreed at the meeting of the POA on 14 November 2012 this would be a matter to be discussed by the Executive Authority and the Minister of Finance. v. At the beginning of the 4th Parliament the Parliamentary Oversight Authority reported on Proposed Policies on Parliament's Budget and Travel (Announcements, Tablings and Committee Reports, 17 September 2009 and Announcements, Tablings and Committee Reports, 13 October 2009). The later tabling replaced Appendix A of the initial report which related specifically to the guidelines for Parliamentary Travel Policy. The report, including Appendix A, was adopted on 20 October 2009 with the proviso that the Parliamentary Oversight Authority would give further consideration to the composition of delegations. The matter was considered by the Parliamentary Oversight Authority on 26 May 2010 and again discussed on 8 September 2010 where it was agreed that the composition of international delegations would be referred to the Chief Whips Forum of the National Assembly for consideration. In its Annual Report of 2011 (Announcements, Tablings and Committee Reports, 22 March 2012) the Parliamentary Oversight Authority noted that the report from the Chief Whips Forum on international delegations was still outstanding. vi. On 26 July 2012 the Presiding Officers wrote to the Auditor-General to indicate that the Financial Management of Parliament Act (Act 10 of 2009) would be referred to the Standing Committee on Finance. The Act had originated in Parliament and it would therefore be for Parliament to initiate the process of its amendment. This process would include, amongst other matters, consideration of amendments to the section of the Act that related to the oversight mechanism. This matter is currently before Parliament
