Committee's remit
11. The House has instructed us to examine the proposal
against the criteria specified in Standing Order No. 141(6) and
then, in the light of that examination, to report whether we recommend
that the proposal should proceed, whether amendments should be
made to it, or whether no Order should be made in the terms of
the proposal.
12. Our discussion of matters arising from our examination
is set out below. Where a criterion specified in Standing Order
No. 141 (6) is not discussed in the report, this indicates that
we have had no concerns to raise about that criterion. During
our examination, we requested further information from the Department
about a number of issues relating to the proposal and the text
of our questions is reproduced in Appendix A to this report. The
Department's response is reproduced as Appendix B.
