Agenda item 6 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the financial memorandum to the Interests of Members of the Scottish Parliament Bill. Given the minimal amount of money that is involved, I propose that we seek comments from the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body about the accuracy of the figures and that we produce a short report. As the paper says, we would not usually produce a report for a bill with minimal financial implications, but because the bill is a committee bill we are obliged under standing orders to do so.
Meeting continued in private until 11:11.
