Bankruptcy and Debt Advice (Scotland) Bill: After Stage 2

Agenda item 5 is consideration of the delegated powers provisions in the bill after stage 2. Members will have noted that the Scottish Government has provided a supplementary delegated powers memorandum and will have seen the briefing paper.

Stage 3 consideration of the bill is due to take place on Thursday 20 March. The deadline for lodging amendments is 4.30 on Friday 14 March—this Friday—so the committee may wish to agree on its conclusions today.

Does the committee agree to report that it is content with those provisions in the bill that were amended at stage 2 to insert or substantially alter provisions conferring powers to make subordinate legislation?

Members indicated agreement.
