The purpose of this item is to consider the delegated powers provisions in the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Bill, as amended at stage 2. The stage 3 debate on the bill will take place later today, and the committee should therefore agree its conclusions today, so that they can be captured in a report prior to the debate.
Members will have noted that the Scottish Government has provided a supplementary delegated powers memorandum and they will have seen the briefing paper for the committee. It is proposed that members may wish to find each of the new or substantially amended delegated powers to be acceptable. Members will also note the correspondence from the Scottish Government regarding proposed stage 3 amendments that relate to delegated powers. It is proposed that members may also wish to find those amendments to be acceptable in so far as they relate to delegated powers.
Does the committee agree to report that it is content with the delegated powers in the bill that have been inserted or substantially amended at stage 2?
Members indicated agreement.
