Special Grant Report No 1—Special Grant for Scotland Asylum Seeker Assistance: Report by the Scottish Ministers<br />(SE 2002/52)
Perhaps the clerk can tell us whether the special grant report is meant to be for public consumption. We could have commented a bit more on it, as the language is not terribly clear. It is clear to a lawyer—it is very legalistic. I do not know whether there are any accompanying notes.
There are not usually accompanying notes to special grant reports. They spell out the amount of assistance that the Executive has in mind for a purpose.
I read the report and it was fairly clear, but as I am not a lawyer I had to concentrate hard. I thought that I would mention in passing that although it is a supposedly public document, the language would exclude many people from it.
