Stage 1 report on the Scottish Parliament (Recall and Removal of Members) Bill - The role of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee
As it stands, the Bill relies on that process being developed through Standing Orders. The Committee considers that, while Standing Orders may reflect the establishment of a process set out in legislation, they are not the place in which to clarify the policy underpinning that process.
