Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Bill: Financial Memorandum

Item 3 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the financial memorandum on the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Bill. As members will note from the clerk's paper, the financial memorandum states:

"There will be no new material costs or savings to the Scottish Administration … Scottish local authorities … or …other bodies, individuals or business in Scotland with the enactment of the provisions in the Bill."

On that basis, is the committee content simply to write to the lead committee to inform it that we have no comments to make on the financial memorandum?

Members indicated agreement.
