European Union Budget Review Inquiry (Witness Expenses)

We have a paper on the EU budget review, but it is limited—it is not about the whole EU budget review but about giving me extra powers. Do members agree with the suggestion in the paper?

Members indicated agreement.

Absolutely, Malcolm. If Iain Gray will not do it, we will do it.

For the benefit of the official reporters, I should explain that the paper is about giving me extra powers to approve expenses to people who come to the committee to give evidence.

We trust you implicitly, convener.
