The Convener:

We have legal advice on our points relating to defective drafting. Although they were answered, there are other aspects of the defective drafting that do not appear to have been adequately dealt with. Does anybody wish to comment on that? Matters are canvassed in the briefing from the legal advisers, which discusses defective drafting in relation to the terminology and definitions and so on.

David Mundell:

The drafting remains defective. On that basis, we must draw it to the attention of the Parliament.

The Convener:

I agree. Is it the view of the committee that we say that the drafting is defective, irrespective of why the Executive has come to that? Members are agreed.
