Petition hearings conclude
2 December 2016
All petitions have now been heard.
The Chairman, at the conclusion of petition hearings on 1 December, stated that the Committee would aim to publish its report as soon as possible and certainly before the Christmas recess which starts on 22 December. Once the publication date is clear, it will be announced on the Committee's website.
Following the publication of the Committee's report, the Bill's remaining parliamentary stages will be taken. The programming of these stages is not a matter for the Select Committee whose work is completed with the publication of its Report.
