I'm just reading through it.
I guess perhaps all this time I was working under a mistaken premise, if I can put it that way, because it looks to me as if they are allowed under certain conditions: they have to be immobilized in the sense that they have to remain stationary during the proceedings, and they're not allowed to do close-ups. Like the cameras in the House of Commons, they're supposed to be focused only on the individual who's speaking, either the chair or the witness or the individual committee member who's asking a question.
