Introduced on: 27 February 2019
Introduced by: Derek Mackay MSP (Government Bill)
Passed: 21 January 2020
Royal Assent: 25 February 2020
Passage of the Bill
The Economy, Energy and Fair Work Committee scrutinised the Bill at Stage 1.
A recognition of Professional Qualifications Bill is in process. However, this SI simply corrects errors in a previous SI and revokes inoperable and impractical retained EU obligations.
I thank the committee for its work in the pre-budget scrutiny phase, and I look forward to working with it on the Budget (Scotland) (No 3) Bill. The challenges that Scotland’s public finances face are well known to the committee.
