Inquiry into COVID-19 Secondary Legislation

Inquiries are detailed investigations into specific issues. Committees typically prepare their own terms of reference, and may appoint independent advisers to assist them. A committee will often call for submissions from the public on an inquiry, but may choose to only invite submissions from relevant individuals or organisations. Although committees are not required to report to the House on any self-initiated inquiry or briefing, they often do so.
