Our advisers have asked the Scottish Government a couple of questions about the delegated powers in the bill. The first asks for the Government’s justification for choosing negative rather than affirmative procedure in relation to the power under section 3(7)(c). The second asks whether the guidance made under section 11 should be laid before the Parliament. Do we agree to ask those two questions, which are in the summary of recommendations?
Are we content with the other proposed powers in the bill?
We will consider the Government’s response, along with a draft report, at our meeting in a fortnight’s time, on 7 December.
