Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation (the Committee's words)
There should be at least two lay members who have never been Parliamentarians on the Standards and Privileges Committee. Their appointment should be made in the same way as that of the lay members of the Speaker’s Committee of the independent regulator.
