Legacy Paper
Item 4 is our legacy paper. For members' information, a Scottish Parliament information centre briefing paper on session 2 legislation—for which we thank SPICe—has been provided. We are invited to consider the draft legacy paper and to agree any changes or additions. A final version of the paper will be brought back to our meeting on 20 March, which we expect will be our last meeting.
I will go through the draft legacy paper paragraph by paragraph, as that is probably the quickest way of dealing with it. Do members have any comments on paragraphs 1 to 4?
Paragraph 5 is pretty factual. Have members any comments on paragraphs 6 to 9?
The next section is "Post-legislative Scrutiny Undertaken". Are there any comments on paragraphs 10 to 14?
Next is "Committee-Initiated Inquiries". Do members have any comments on paragraphs 15 to 20? Obviously, paragraph 21 will need to be updated once we take evidence from the minister, but we can come back to that at our final meeting. Are there any comments on paragraphs 22 to 25?
Do members have any comments on paragraphs 26 to 29?
We turn to "Budget Scrutiny". Do members have any comments on paragraphs 30 to 33?
We move on to "Scrutiny of Justice and Home Affairs in Europe". Do members have any comments on paragraphs 34 to 37?
We turn to "Other Matters". Do members have any comments on paragraphs 38 to 40?
Next is "Petitions and Subordinate Legislation". Do members have any comments on paragraphs 41 and 42? Obviously, paragraph 42 will need to be updated.
The "Conclusion" is paragraph 43. Do members have any comments on that?
In that case, having noted those paragraphs that will need to be updated by the clerk, we can reconsider the legacy paper at our final meeting. As agreed, we now move into private for the final agenda item.
Meeting continued in private until 14:55.
