a. Parliament was defined as follows: "Parliament" - The National Assembly and the National Council of Provinces as defined in section 42 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa. b. The wording of the policy was changed to include NCOP representation of parties in the calculation of Administrative and Constituency allowances. c. The policy required that: "The Presiding Officers must annually, with due regard to national budgetary constraints determine an amount per Member of Parliament to be budgeted for distribution to a political party as a constituency allowance for the ensuing financial year (1 April to 31 March)." The wording of the policy was changed to reflect that approval of the budget for Parliament by the Presiding Officers would be deemed as the above having been determined. d. The wording of the policy would reflect that whilst it was the political party which determined the internal arrangement as far as control of the funds was concerned, it was expected that some of the funds would be made available to ensure that parliamentary representatives were able to perform their parliamentary duties effectively. e. The wording in the policy would be changed to reflect the current practice of payment being made on a quarterly basis except in the first quarter where payment would be made for April and May with the amount for June and further payments being subject to compliance with section 8.15 of the policy.
