Agenda item 4 is consideration of changes to standing orders. The convener of the Finance Committee wrote to ask us to consider how the financial provisions in the Scotland Act 2012 should be translated into standing orders. The Scotland Act 2012 contained various financial provisions that are required to be reflected in the Scottish Parliament budget process.
I invite the committee to consider how the Scotland Act 2012 financial provisions can be translated into standing orders. Specifically, do members agree to the proposed standing orders rule changes that are in annex B of paper 4, and do we agree to seek confirmation that the Finance Committee is content with the changes?
Members indicated agreement.
Do we agree to consider a report on the rule changes in private at a future committee meeting?
Members indicated agreement.
Do we agree to seek a chamber debate to approve the rule changes on the same date as the proposed Finance Committee debate seeking approval for the written agreement?
Members indicated agreement.
That ends the public part of the meeting.
