Question

To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will review the number of events and meetings that take place after Decision Time in the Scottish Parliament building.


Answer

In order to manage resources across parliamentary staff teams and the campus on busy business nights – as well as the impact on Members’ diaries – agreement was given by the Corporate Body to limit the number of Member-sponsored events accordingly.  The Events and Exhibitions Team currently deliver and support a maximum of between nine and ten Member-sponsored events weekly on behalf of Members, with two of those slots being for Thursday lunchtime events.
