(3) A member who makes a request for an inquiry under this clause must, as soon as reasonably practicable, forward a copy of the request to the member who is the subject of the request. (4) On receiving a request, the Registrar conducts a preliminary review of the request to determine if, in the Registrar’s opinion, an inquiry is warranted. In making a determination under this subclause, the Registrar takes account of the degree of importance of the matter under inquiry, and whether the matter— (a) may involve a breach of the obligations to make a return: (b) is technical or trivial. (5) On determining whether an inquiry is warranted, the Registrar must inform the member who made the request of this determination, and must also inform the member who was the subject of the request.

(8) The Registrar may,— (a) if the Registrar considers that the matter under inquiry does not involve a breach of the obligations to make a return, or is so minor as not to warrant the further attention of the House, determine that no further action is required: (b) if the Registrar considers that the matter under inquiry involves an inadvertent or minor breach of the obligations to make a return, advise the member who is the subject of the inquiry to submit an amendment to the member’s return or returns to remedy the breach: (c) determine that the matter under inquiry involves a question of privilege, and report this to the House at the first opportunity: (d) report to the House on any other matter that may warrant the further attention of the House. (9) Any report of the Registrar is presented by the Speaker to the House and published under the authority of the House. 17 Information on Registrar’s inquiry (1) A request under clause 16 and all information relating to the Registrar’s consideration of that request are confidential until the Registrar determines whether to conduct an inquiry in respect of the request. (2) After determining whether an inquiry is warranted under clause 16, and after informing members under clause 16(5), the Registrar may, at the Registrar’s discretion, disclose any or all of the following information: (a) the name of the member who made the request: (b) the date on which the request was received: (c) the name of the member who was the subject of the request: (d) the particular requirement or requirements in this Appendix to which the request relates.

(7) In considering a question of privilege determined by the Registrar, the Privileges Committee may request from the Registrar information that it considers is necessary for the committee’s consideration. The Registrar decides whether to provide the information requested. (8) Information provided by the Registrar to the Privileges Committee under subclause (6)(c) or (7) is received by the committee as evidence in private, unless it is received in secret. 18 Registrar must publish summary of all returns received in period for transmitting returns (1) The Registrar must, within 90 days of the due date for transmitting any initial returns that are required to be made following a general election, publish on a website and in booklet form a summary containing a fair and accurate description of the information contained in all returns received during the period for transmitting returns.
