I want to make a point about the final bullet point in paragraph 7, which mentions a matter of some importance to the Parliament, which is:"the lack of an Official Report of evidence taken making reporting very problematic."
If they have a particular interest or wish to investigate any area covered by the briefing paper or the report, I encourage them to make direct contact with Audit Scotland officials in advance of the next meeting.
In curing that error, the Executive seems to have gone much further than its aim as set out by Nicol Stephen at columns 880 to 881 of the Official Report of the stage 2 debate in the Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Committee on what was the Education and Training (Scotland) Bill.
It was also the subject of a lengthy discussion by the Social Inclusion, Housing and Voluntary Sector Committee, and the Official Report of that meeting is included in today's papers.
Perhaps we should note that there was some debate between the adviser to the committee and the Executive officials on the question of which sections fell within the remit of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.
