Submission of Petitions (Guidance)

Item 5 concerns the guidance on the submission of public petitions, which has been revised to reflect the changes to the standing orders on the admissibility of petitions, which were agreed by the Parliament on 23 November 2005. The guidance has also been revised to provide clearer details of the administrative arrangements for the processing of petitions.

Once the text has been finalised, the guidance will be published in a style that is consistent with other parliamentary public information publications. As with existing guidance, the guidance will be available in a variety of languages and formats.
