Under item 7, the committee is invited to consider the powers to make subordinate legislation conferred on the Scottish ministers in this bill. A briefing paper has been provided that sets out the relevant aspects of the bill and comments on their effect. Does the committee agree to report to the lead committee that it is content with the delegated powers conferred on the Scottish ministers in the bill and with the procedure to which they are subject?
Members indicated agreement.
It might be useful to draw the attention of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee—as part of that committee’s consideration of the legislative process—to this being another instance in which something touching on subordinate legislation is not accompanied by a delegated powers memorandum.
Thank you for that comment.
