Budget (Scotland) Act 2000 (Amendment) (No 2) Order 2000 (SSI 2000/draft)

The first item on the agenda is Executive responses.

We asked why there had not been a note about the above order. We received a clear explanation that other matters had been produced, and we can accept that.

I think that David Mundell wants to make a point about the Education (Graduate Endowment and Student Support) (Scotland) Bill, which we considered.

We can welcome the fact that the Executive has intimated that it is delaying the bill to produce some changes to the drafting. I hope that it takes on board some of the drafting issues that the committee raised when we examined the bill. We thought that it would be necessary to take evidence from witnesses.

That is noted on the record.
