    "content": "Fair enough! Under the circumstances, I direct that this stands committed to the joint Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs and the Committee on Administration and National Security. I hope the Committee understands the rules governing petitions. Standing Order No.210 (2) states:- “Whenever a Petition is committed to a department of the Government, the Minister responsible or any other designated Minister shall, in not more than twenty-one calendar days from the time of reading the prayer, respond to the petitioner by way of a Statement in the House addressed to the petitioner or petitioners. (3) Whenever a Petition is committed to the National Assembly, the relevant Committee shall, in not more than twenty-one calendar days from the time of reading the prayer, respond to the petitioner by way of a report addressed to the petitioner or petitioners and laid on the Table of the House and no debate on or in relation to the report shall be allowed. (4) The Clerk shall, at the end of every Session, forward Petitions which have been approved by the Speaker and not been presented to the House, to the relevant department of the Government and such department of the Government shall reply to each Petition forwarded in not more that twenty-one calendar days.” The fourth provision is for the petitions that have not been committed. But for the purpose of the petition that is now before us, I think I have read the rules and you have to conform to them."
