Individual Learning Account (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2013 (SSI 2013/75)
Agenda item 5 is consideration of a statutory instrument that is subject to negative procedure. The committee considered the instrument at its last meeting before recess and agreed to ask the Scottish Government for further information before making a decision. The Scottish Government’s response has been included with this week’s committee papers at annex A, along with a copy of the SSI and accompanying notes. Do members have further comments?
A couple of points were made at the previous meeting. I think that it was Neil Findlay who asked for details of the profiling, which has been provided; also requested was any response to the consultation that it was indicated had been undertaken. I do not see much reference to that, although there is reference to the fact that this committee considered and accepted the changes to the 2012 regulations. I do not know whether it was assumed on that basis that further responses from stakeholders were unnecessary.
I took that to be the case, given that the making training work better review or consultation exercise, and the resulting proposals, covered that point, although I take Liam McArthur’s point. To be fair to the Government, it has covered our request for a response pretty well.
