  • How to use the Records
    ** Special Access Conditions **

    Although records transferred from this agency are available for public inspection, special access conditions apply. The records have been transferred to the Public Record Office Victoria on the understanding that they remain the property of the Parliament of Victoria. Parliamentary records are transferred on condition that all requests for access will be referred to the Clerk of the Legislative Council/Legislative Assembly as appropriate, for determination in each case.

    Application to inspect the records should be made to the appropriate officer and written authorisation must be presented at the Public Record Office Victoria Search Rooms before records can be made available for inspection.

  • Function / Content
    This series comprises a variety of records collected or created in the course of inquiries conducted by the Statute Law Revision Committee.

    Although the range of documents created per inquiry/investigation will vary, the following broad categories of documents were generally created:

    Background papers comprising copies of printed material, reports etc gathered by the Committee in the course of initial research about the inquiry to be undertaken.

    Minutes of meetings held by the Committee in the course of specific inquiries.

    Correspondence files relating to either the actual investigation or organisational aspects of the inquiry.
    Submissions tendered by individuals or organisations during the investigation stating their views on the issues concerned.

    Transcripts of hearings held as part of each inquiry. Copies of the transcripts, which were forwarded to the various participants for amendments or corrections are also included.

    Reports including the draft and final printed copy as presented to Parliament containing the Committee's findings and recommendations.

  • Recordkeeping System
    The records have been arranged chronologically according to the years in which each inquiry/investigation was conducted. In order to achieve consistency, the records within each inquiry were boxed in the same order as listed above (i.e background papers, correspondence files, transcripts and reports).

    P2 Consignment

    The P2 consignment of this series consists of records which were either submitted or conducted "In Confidence" or "In Camera". These items have been placed in a separate consignment to guard against inadvertent access.
