Decision on Taking Business in Private
Under agenda item 2, it is proposed that the committee takes item 6 in private, as that will involve the committee consulting with its legal advisers. Item 6 is consideration of the Scottish Government’s legislative consent memorandum on the Coronavirus Bill that is before the United Kingdom Parliament. The committee will consider the bill only in relation to the powers to make subordinate legislation that are being delegated to the Scottish ministers.
Given the speed with which the bill is being considered at Westminster, there will be a debate on the LCM in the chamber this afternoon. As the committee will not have time to formally report on its scrutiny of the LCM, I propose that, as convener, I report on the committee’s discussion during the debate.
Does the committee agree to take item 6 in private?
Members indicated agreement.
Is the committee content for me to speak in this afternoon’s debate to highlight any comments that the committee might wish to make on the relevant delegated powers in the bill?
Members indicated agreement.
