I am somewhat surprised, given that Mr McArthur tends to be very focused on and interested in the role of Parliament in scrutiny, that, although his proposals are connected with the code of good governance as is practised, he wants to insert reference to the code in legislation, which would mean that Parliament would not have a role in scrutinising it at a future date. The provisions on advertisement and applications in section A4, as inserted in the bill at stage 2, seek to ensure a clear and level playing field for all applicants.
