Parliament needs to know what exactly it thinks people should not be able to say and what counts as stirring up. If you start relying too much on extra-legal stuff such as training, you move out of that world.
I will change my final question. Where do all the extra millions of pounds come from? We are always told that there is not enough money for this or that.
We produce a series of documents called “How councils work”, which effectively taps into Audit Scotland’s enormous bank of knowledge, expertise and experience. There is no extra work; it is a matter of summarising what is already there.
It certainly can be very close to that although, technically, the system does not make it disadvantageous unless there are extra costs. The actual take-home pay will always go up, even if only by a bit.
