Current Work
We thought that members should be advised on how things are going in relation to a number of the matters that have recently been discussed in committee. The paper that members have in front of them simply advises them of where things stand vis-à-vis parliamentary questions. There is a letter from the convener of the Subordinate Legislation Committee to explain what that committee is doing on work that primarily belongs to it but which is shared by us, as procedural matters are involved.
We hope to bring a response to Donald Gorrie's paper to a meeting soon, and there are other matters ticking away in the background, although the list on our information paper is not an exhaustive one. We will seek a response at an early date from the Finance Committee on some financial procedural matters that have come before the committee, and the chief executive has raised some issues about how we pass private bills. A considerable volume of work may be involved in that.
Unless there are questions on any of those matters, that is that for today. I thank members for their attendance.
