Agenda item 7 is to consider the delegated powers provisions in the Mental Health (Scotland) Bill as amended at stage 2. The stage 3 debate on the bill will take place on Wednesday 24 June. The committee should therefore agree its conclusions today so that they can be captured in a report prior to that debate.
Members will have noted that the Scottish Government has provided a supplementary delegated powers memorandum, and they will have seen the briefing paper.
It is proposed that members may wish to find all the new or amended delegated powers acceptable. Does the committee agree to report that it is content with the provisions in the bill that have been amended at stage 2 to insert or substantially alter provisions that confer powers to make subordinate legislation and other delegated powers?
Members indicated agreement.
We will now move into private session.
11:30 Meeting continued in private until 11:35.
