(a) – (c) The usual practice where Parliament is prorogued prior to the Government having the opportunity to table a response is for the new Committee to consider tabling its predecessor’s report for the purposes of seeking a response from Government. Should the new Committee resolve to do so, the Government will respond in accordance with the Standing Orders.
