Accompanying Documents

Members will recall that at our meeting on 18 April we agreed to seek the views of Ove Arup & Partners Scotland Ltd on promoter response PROM (P) 1N, in which TIE comments on whether it incorporated Arup's pre-introduction comments into the draft environmental statement. The committee then agreed to seek Arup's comments again on whether the promoter's reasons for not incorporating Arup's original comments in the environmental statement accompanying the bill are reasonable.

As members are aware, one of the committee's tasks at preliminary stage is to report on whether the accompanying documents are adequate to allow for scrutiny. I seek members' views on the Arup report that was included in the papers. Do members agree to note it in the written evidence?

Members indicated agreement.

The Arup report will be useful when we question the promoter on the environmental statement at next week's meeting.
