Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Bill: Financial Memorandum

The Convener:

Item 3 is consideration of our approach to the scrutiny of the financial memorandum to the Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Bill. Members will see from the clerk's paper that level 2 scrutiny is proposed, which means that we would seek written evidence from bodies that will be affected by the bill and then take oral evidence from Scottish Government officials before we produced a report for the lead committee. Do members agree to conduct level 2 scrutiny?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener:

Do members agree to invite local authorities, the Scottish Retail Consortium and the Federation of Small Businesses Scotland to submit written evidence on part 1 of the bill, and to invite health boards to submit written evidence on part 2?

Members indicated agreement.

I suggest that we add the Scottish Grocers Federation to the list of organisations that we will invite to comment on part 1.

Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
