Scope
The Standing Committee reported on death duties and Aboriginal enterprises and was not re-established following the change of government in December 1975. In early 1977, difficulties in identifying an appropriate standing committee to refer an inquiry into public service computer use led to the re-establishment of the committee in March 1977.
