Questions on Canberra Replies in Parliament
Delegates reported that wages paid during the current financial year up to November were covered by the Beat of Government funds. The government refused rail tickets for civil servants and families visiting capital cities, saying it would be unfair to others. The Federal Capital Commission’s ability to coordinate with New South Wales authorities was hindered by jurisdiction, and pneumatic tube costs between Parliament House and the Government Printing Office were noted. The government did not commit to announcing future lease charges before Christmas. Tenders for Governor-General and Prime Minister residences furniture were not invited, with a decision to proceed to a later stage.
