Scottish Parliamentary Commissions and Commissioners etc Bill: Financial Memorandum
Item 4 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the financial memorandum to the Scottish Parliamentary Commissions and Commissioners etc Bill. Hard copies of the bill and the clerk's paper have been circulated to members.
Joe FitzPatrick was a member of the Review of SPCB Supported Bodies Committee, which helped to develop the proposal for the bill. As a result, standing orders rule 9.13A precludes him from taking part as a member of the Finance Committee in our consideration of the financial memorandum to the bill.
The clerk's paper suggests that we may wish to adopt level 2 scrutiny in relation to the financial memorandum, and provides us with a list of affected bodies from which we may wish to seek written evidence. Are members content with those suggestions?
I am.
I see that members are so content. That concludes our public session.
Meeting continued in private until 17:29.
