Illustration for Parliament Bill

The Parliamentary Corporation has some jobs to do. You will see it help with things the Parliamentary Service needs to do. It can also buy, own, and sell land and other assets to help Parliament work properly. The Parliamentary Corporation's assets and liabilities are treated as part of the Parliamentary Service when it comes to the Public Finance Act 1989 and the Public Audit Act 2001. This means the Parliamentary Corporation's assets and liabilities are counted as part of the Parliamentary Service for certain financial purposes.
