A standing committee with delegated responsibilities to perform duties on behalf of Senate shall report to Senate at twelve-monthly intervals, except where otherwise stipulated in the charge to the committee; the first report shall be on a date to be agreed upon by the Chair of the committee and the Chair of Senate. Where Senate ratification of decisions made by a committee is required it shall be sought at the time of the submission of the committee's report; in the event of Senate failing to ratify such decision or decisions of a committee, the decision or decisions shall stand, and the Senate's failure to ratify shall be interpreted as an instruction to the committee involved that actions of that type shall not be repeated.
