Continued Petitions 09:33 Item 2 is consideration of continued petitions.Anyone following our proceedings will realise that, as this is our last meeting, we will need either to close the petition under consideration or, in a very limited number of cases, to allow the petition to be carried over for the new committee to consider. We do so, fully understanding the implications; were the new committee to close a petition that had been carried over, there would be a bar of 12 months on the issue being raised again.
