The Parliamentary House Committee initiated a two day workshop from 12-13 June for members of parliament. The aim of the workshop was to engage all members of parliament to review and discuss proposed changes to the current Standing Orders of Parliament.

ajor proposal is the amalgamating of Public Accounts Committee and Public Expenditure Committee as well as committee broaden functions.

Members who attended provided valuable feedback to the Parliamentary House Committee on the proposed amendments for further review.

It is proposed that when the proposed amendments are passed by parliament, the changes will come into effect in the 12th Parliament.

The workshop was funded under the UNDP Strengthening Legislatures in Pacific Island Countries project.
