The Registrar may, as the Registrar thinks fit, supply to the Auditor-General any other information relating to a return. (2) The Auditor-General will review the returns provided under subclause (1) as soon as is reasonably practicable, and will advise the Registrar of any matters arising from the review. 16 Registrar’s inquiry (1) A member who has reasonable grounds to believe that another member has not complied with their obligations to make a return may request that the Registrar conduct an inquiry into the matter.

(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.

(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. (6) If the Registrar determines that an inquiry is warranted, the Registrar conducts an inquiry. (7) In conducting the inquiry, the Registrar— (a) must invite the member who is the subject of the inquiry to provide a response to the matter under inquiry within 10 working days (provided that the Registrar and the member may agree on a different period of time for the member’s response): (b) may seek further information from the member who made the request for an inquiry, from the member who is the subject of the inquiry, and from any other person that the Registrar considers may have relevant information: (c) may seek assistance or advice from the Auditor-General or from any other person, as the Registrar sees fit: (d) may disclose any return or returns and information relevant to the inquiry to a person providing assistance or advice under paragraph (c). (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.

(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.
