Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee (Correspondence)

The Convener

Agenda item 2 is to consider correspondence from the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee, which has asked all committees for examples of any major recurring themes that have arisen during committee scrutiny. One theme that we have discussed and that the committee could suggest is the need for the Scottish and United Kingdom Governments to work closely together to deliver devolved social security. Do members agree to respond to the audit committee on those lines?

Members indicated agreement.

We now move into private session for agenda item 3, which is on the Child Poverty (Scotland) Bill.

09:32 Meeting continued in private until 11:14.
