Paragraph 10 Deputations to the committee

Deputations shall only be admitted to the committee provided the committee shall have previously considered and approved such a request, except that, in exceptional circumstances where the matter to be discussed is of such importance and where there is not sufficient time to allow a request to be submitted to a meeting of the committee, the chairperson shall have authority to agree to receive the deputation.

The purpose of such deputation shall be confined to the presentation of a statement or copy of resolutions and the making of not more than two short addresses by members of the deputation.

The duration of any deputation’s submission shall be limited to ten minutes.
