Delegated Powers Scrutiny


Education (Disability Strategies and Pupils' Records) (Scotland) Bill<br />(as amended at Stage 2)

The Convener:

The Executive has given us a full and helpful explanation of the new powers, which seem sensible. It is obvious that our previous comments on consultation are bearing fruit. Does the committee want to quibble about whether the consultation requirement should be included in the bill? It never does any harm to have such a requirement in a bill.

A comment on that would be in line with the position that we have taken on other bills when the Executive has signalled that it wishes to consult.

Why not just say in the bill that it wishes to consult? We will make that point in our report to Parliament. Does anyone want to mention anything else?

No. The powers seem okay.
