          <by role="member" id="4343">The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER:</by>  On Thursday 24 June, I spoke in this place in response to the Legislative Review Committee's report on petition No. 13 of 2020, entitled 'Maintenance of the current composition of the Teachers Registration Board'.</text>
        <text id="20210824b34decd5978d4c2f80000402">I delivered my response to the report within 30 days of it being tabled as I felt it would be prudent to address the matter before the legislation commenced and there was a discussion in this house. However, section 19(3)(a) of the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991 requires me to formally address the house following the provision of my written response to the committee, which I sent on 7 July.</text>
