I thank the Minister of State for her reply. I wish to share my supplementary time with Senators Gallagher and Wilson who is also concerned about this issue.

The issue of vouched expenses was raised in this House before with several suggestions put forward. I am glad the Minister is examining the issue of travel rates and that they should in effect be compatible with a rationale behind them.He will have to return to the House in July to update us on the conclusions reached in regard to these proposals. While there are no distinct answers on some of these matters, it is an ongoing issue.
