Finally, it is worth noting that petitioners may avail themselves of all the resources the committee provides to assist petitioners understand the requirements of the petitioning standing orders; however, any research into their subject matter concern, and the drafting of their petition, is entirely a matter for petitioners. Once a petition is finalised and sent to the committee it will be assessed by the committee against all the House’s petitioning requirements and, if it is compliant, it can be presented in the House. I am very sorry, Madam Speaker; I lost track of time.
