Committee Report on 2011 strategic plan & budget of Department of Justice & Constitutional Development; Committee's Strategic Plan & Programme; Study Tour deliberations
Meeting Summary
The Committee met to discuss and consider its report on the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development 2011 budget and strategic plan, its strategic plan and its programme for the remainder of the year. The Committee adopted its report on the Department’s budget vote. It adopted its strategic plan and programme with amendments. The Committee also briefly discussed its cancelled study tour. A Member pointed out that a pattern seemed to be developing where the National Assembly seemed to be more important than the National Council of Provinces. International study tours were not necessarily of premium importance but the main focus of the National Council of Provinces was on service delivery at a provincial level. If the Committee could visit various parts of the country to perform its oversight duty, that would be satisfactory.
