Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: I put a formal request to the Chairman to get legal advice. I would like a ruling on that. I think it would be prudent to get legal advice before we proceed. I think we should get the Office of the Parliamentary Legal Adviser to give us legal advice. It would be irresponsible of us not to.
