Marine (Scotland) Bill: Financial Memorandum

Item 2 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the financial memorandum to the Marine (Scotland) Bill. The clerk's paper suggests level 2 scrutiny.

Quite right. I agree.

That means that we take oral evidence from the Scottish Government's bill team and seek written evidence from any other relevant parties. Do members agree to conduct level 2 scrutiny?

Members indicated agreement.

I could ask anything, and you would just agree.

Do members agree to seek written evidence from all local authorities?

Members indicated agreement.

Do members wish to suggest any other bodies from which to seek written evidence?

I am not going to suggest any other bodies, but I wonder whether we could have a wee scan about to see what other agencies—non-departmental public bodies and others—might be directly affected by the bill.

We will invite the clerks to do that.
