Item 5 is consideration of our approach to the financial memorandum of the Disabled Persons' Parking Places (Scotland) Bill, which is a member's bill. The clerks' paper suggests that the bill should receive level 2 scrutiny, which would involve seeking written evidence from COSLA, the Scottish Government and the Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland and taking oral evidence from the member in charge of the bill. Are members agreed?
I know that we will seek written evidence from COSLA, but I wonder whether we should also seek specific information from Glasgow City Council or one of the other authorities that have already introduced a disabled parking places scheme and from which the costings in the clerks' paper appear to have been drawn.
An authority with practical experience, you mean?
Absolutely.
Do members agree to that suggestion?
I think that that will certainly help us.
Meeting continued in private until 16:10.
