It is then for the committee responsible for the hearing to decide whether or not it requires further information from the Commissioner-designate.’ If this interpretation was not contested by a political group or by at least 40 Members, in accordance with Rule 226(4), before the opening of the next sitting, on Monday 27 April 2015, it would be deemed to have been adopted.
