Budget Adviser

The Convener:

I refer members to the paper entitled, "Scrutiny of the budget process 2009-10: appointment of an adviser". As you recall, we agreed to recruit an adviser to assist with our consideration of the budget process in 2009-10. Do members agree to ask the Parliamentary Bureau to approve the recruitment of an adviser for up to 15 days?

Members indicated agreement.

Are members content with the remit and person specification for the post, which are set out, along with the adviser's duties, in annex A to the paper?

Members indicated agreement.

Are we not able to be consistent and use the adviser that we have used before? Must we go through the whole process again?

We must go through the selection process again.

That is a pity.

Meeting continued in private until 12:27.
