Standing Orders Committee

The Standing Orders Committee is a select committee of the House of Lords that deals with private bills. When the Examiner of Private Bills determines that the promoters of a private bill have not complied with the Standing Orders of the House of Lords relating to Private Business, the matter is referred to the Committee, who advise the House whether to waive the applicable standing orders. If the Examiner is in doubt as to whether the Standing Orders have been complied with, he may refer the matter to the Committee, who then decide the matter on their own authority. In the case of an unopposed private bill, the Chairman of Committees may act alone on behalf of the Committee.

gollark: It isn't done because unlike your '""proofs""" I never actually end up with clear success criteria.
gollark: Well, I have Skynet3 "working" so far. It even has Prometheus for graphs.
gollark: Even more !!FUN!!ly, it works fine at 10 and breaks at 16. Further testing is ongoing.
gollark: Apparently the new skynet3™ code works perfectly until ??? happens if I try and connect a bunch of websockets to it at the same time, at which point it irrecoverably deadlocks or something.
