Finance Committee
The Finance Committee’s remit is to ensure that proper scrutiny is given to the budget and expenditure of the Welsh Assembly Government, the Assembly Commission, the Ombudsman, the Children’s Commissioner, the Older People’s Commissioner and various Assembly Government Sponsored Bodies and NHS Bodies.
The Committee has in broad terms three main functions:
- To consider and report on Assembly budget proposals;
- To consider and, where it sees fit, report on the financial information presented in support of Assembly Measures;
- To consider any other matter relating to, or affecting, expenditure by the Government or out of the Welsh Consolidated Fund.
The National Assembly’s Standing Order 14 provides full details of the operation of the Committee and Standing Order 27 sets out the financial timetable in respect of the budget process.
The Committee issued Guidance on information to support a proposed Assembly Measure in January 2009.
