Sentencing (Pre-Consolidation Amendments) Bill and Domestic Abuse Bill
Agenda item 9 is consideration of two legislative consent memorandums relating to the Sentencing (Pre-consolidation Amendments) Bill and the Domestic Abuse Bill, which are currently before the UK Parliament. The bills touch on devolved matters and the Scottish Government is recommending that the Scottish Parliament gives its consent to the UK Parliament to make the relevant provisions in the bills. I refer members to paper 7, which is a note by the clerk.
Are members agreed that the Scottish Parliament should give its consent to the relevant provisions in the Sentencing (Pre-consolidation Amendments) Bill?
Members indicated agreement.
Are members agreed that the Scottish Parliament should give its consent to the relevant provisions in the Domestic Abuse Bill?
