Question
To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body what its policy is regarding the use of electronic devices for accessing committee papers during committee meetings.
Answer
The conduct and management of committee meetings (including the use of electronic devices) is a matter for the relevant committee convener.
However, the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body is very supportive of the move towards increased digital working which allows Members easier and more efficient ways to access information, saves on print costs and supports our environmental strategy. The Digital Parliament Programme is looking at further changes to support members who wish to work digitally to do so.
