Police and Fire Services (Finance) (Scotland) Bill

Item 6 concerns the Police and Fire Services (Finance) (Scotland) Bill. We are not the lead committee on that bill, but it has been drawn to our attention in case we want to report to the lead committee on the bill's contents.

I do not think that we will want to report, but I am open to comments from the committee.

Which is the lead committee?

The Local Government Committee.

I have not read the bill. Should I have done?

Of course. You should read all the bills that come before the Parliament, Gordon.

I meant, "Should I have read it by today?"

If there are no further comments, we will not report to the Local Government Committee. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
