Dear Alister
We have been considering the UK Supreme Court’s judgment that certain provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Incorporation) (Scotland) Bill would be outwith the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament.
I would therefore be grateful to receive an update on what additional steps the Scottish Government is taking to ensure that such legislation continues to be drafted and laid correctly, even in this challenging environment, by Friday, 21 January 2022.

Yours sincerely
Finlay Carson MSP
Convener of the Rural Affairs, Island and Natural Environment Committee.
