# The Recall of MPs Act 2015 (Recall Petition) Regulations 2016, Regulation 111: Checking lists of rejected postal signing sheets: England and Wales and Scotland


(1) Where the petition officer receives a valid postal petition statement without the postal signing sheet to which it relates, the officer may, at any time before the end of the signing period, check the list kept under regulation 110(2) to see whether the number of a postal signing sheet to which the statement relates is entered in that list.
(2) Where the petition officer receives a postal signing sheet without the postal petition statement to which it relates, the officer may, at any time prior to the end of the signing period, check the list kept under regulation 110(3) to see whether the number of that signing sheet is entered in that list.
(3) The petition officer must conduct the checks required by paragraphs (1) and (2) as soon as practicable after the receipt of the packets from every petition signing place.
(4) Where the signing sheet number in the list matches that number on a valid postal petition statement or the postal signing sheet (as the case may be) the petition officer must retrieve that statement or sheet.
(5) The petition officer must then take the appropriate steps under these Regulations as though any document earlier marked “provisionally rejected” had not been so marked and must amend the document accordingly.
