COMMITTEE STAFFING AND COSTS IN DETAIL
1 Select
Committee Staff
Details of the staff serving a particular select
committee are set out in their publications. In many cases, committee
staff carry out duties in the service of the House unrelated to
their work for a particular committee. For some staff, especially
those working in offices other than the Committee Directorate,
those duties account for most of their work. This analysis of
the staff who served select committees during Session 2008-09
is therefore presented office by office.
