Local Authority Single Status Agreement

Item 4 is consideration of a paper on the local authority single status agreement. As members know, the previous Finance Committee concluded its inquiry into this issue in 2006.

At the beginning of September, we agreed as part of our work programme to write to the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities for an update. We have received COSLA's response, which has been circulated to members along with a report back from the meeting that the deputy convener and I had with COSLA. We have also received a letter from the Scottish women's budget group outlining its concerns with regard to the issue.

Do members wish to do anything further on the matter? If not, are we quite content?

Members indicated agreement.
