The purpose of this item is to consider the delegated powers provisions in the Human Trafficking and Exploitation (Scotland) Bill as amended at stage 2. The stage 3 debate on the bill will take place on Thursday 1 October. The committee should therefore agree its conclusions today, so that they can be captured in a report prior to the debate.
Members will have noted that the Scottish Government has provided a supplementary delegated powers memorandum and will have seen the briefing paper for the committee. It is proposed that members may wish to find all the new or amended delegated powers acceptable.
Does the committee agree to report that it is content with the provisions in the bill that have been amended at stage 2 to insert or substantially alter provisions conferring powers to make subordinate legislation and other delegated powers?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you very much.
