Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee [Draft]

Scottish Parliament (Recall and Removal of Members) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 8 May 2025

Sue Webber

You mentioned ways to protect the individual, including mechanisms that would use the corporate body. I will read out my next question from our briefing because, when it comes to data, I would rather not trip myself up. Would there be any possible concerns regarding data protection and privacy issues if the process involved reporting to the Parliament in every instance in which the committee considered the absence of a member, including those in which the MSP’s absence was judged to be valid?

Maybe we can discuss that at another time. What do we have to do now in relation to reporting to the Parliament? I am just throwing that question out there.

That is what I was thinking about. There are things that we are aware of in this bubble, but the rest of the world is not on the same page.

Quite a lot of awareness and comms are needed.

I am very sorry. Can you say that again?

Data is key to a lot of the issues, but we hear that it is also a big concern for many people. Are there any similar processes or mechanisms elsewhere that have got round the problem or that it may benefit us to be aware of?
