Valid Petitions of Concern that had names/signatures removed by use of Corrective Fluid (Tippex)
Dear Northern Ireland Assembly,
A recent Slugger O’Toole article by Kris Nixon highlighted that Tippex or other corrective fluid had been used to remove the names/signatures of those listed on an otherwise valid Petition of Concern. A story followed in the BBC on 2 November 2015 that Pam Cameron MLA had revealed that Petitions of Concern were signed in advance without a particular issue being in view (which would mean that petitions of concern contained names of ex MLAs presumably and would therefore require removal). In an effort to see the size of this matter, could you please detail those Petitions of Concerns from 2011-2016 mandate where corrective fluid appears to have used and provide scans of them?
Yours faithfully,
M.V. McCullagh
