There's one more point, which is that a time is set aside, Monday afternoons, for debates on the petitions in Westminster Hall, which is a parallel debating chamber, as the chair has said.
That's when most e-petitions get debated, but in the last session there were two e-petitions that the backbench business committee decided were important enough to be debated in the main chamber on a substantive motion. So there is that option as well and there will continue to be that option of debating an e-petition in the main chamber on the floor of the House in the system the committee has proposed.
