We move to item 2 on the agenda. Members have in front of them from the non-Executive bills unit a paper that details how we hope to proceed with amendments from committee members, to ease the smooth passage of the Commissioner for Children and Young People (Scotland) Bill. Are members satisfied with the approach that is set out?
I am broadly satisfied. It is right that the non-Executive bills unit should draft non-controversial amendments and bring them to the committee. I speak for SNP members when I say that we would be happy for the main amendments to be lodged in the name of the convener, on the understanding that we may lodge amendments if we want to do so.
Thank you.
Do we have a time scale for the bill?
I understand that stage 1 consideration will be on 5 January and that stage 2 will begin three weeks after that and will be completed prior to the end of the session.
