Delegated Powers Scrutiny
Budget (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1
Welcome to the 5th meeting in 2004 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.
The first item on the agenda is on stage 1 of the Budget (Scotland) Bill for the financial year 2004-05. As is customary, the bill contains one delegated power, which will allow ministers, by order, to make adjustments. The order is subject to the affirmative procedure. As section 7 of the bill follows the normal form, we are advised that we can approve the power. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
