Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee
3rd Meeting, 2022
Committees sometimes meet in private. This might be to hear confidential or particularly sensitive information, or to discuss a draft report. When a committee meets in private, its proceedings are not broadcast and, usually, there is no Official Report. However, the committee minutes will record the business taken and any decisions reached.
The Committee will consider the following continued petitions—
PE1855: Pardon and memorialise those convicted under the Witchcraft Act 1563 and will take evidence from petitioners Claire Mitchell QC and Zoe Venditozzi;
PE1854: Review the adult disability payment eligibility criteria for people with mobility needs; and
PE1910: Amend the forthcoming legal requirement to have interlinked fire and smoke alarms in small houses.
