Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill

The Local Democracy, Economic Development and Construction Bill is UK legislation.

Clause 143 is "Commencement: construction contracts". I read that several times in the legal brief—I think that I understand it. Are we content that the commencement power, which is conferred on the Scottish ministers in regard to part 8 provisions in the bill relating to construction contracts, is acceptable?

Members indicated agreement.

I thank members, clerks and the legal team for their input. This stuff has not been easy. We next meet on Tuesday 3 February at 2.15; we shall be given the room number in due course.

Meeting closed at 14:53.
