Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Bill
The Committee was designated lead committee for scrutiny of the Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Bill, which was introduced on 23 January 2024.
The Scottish Government lodged a Legislative Consent Memorandum on the Bill on 29 September in which it recommended that the Scottish Parliament reject the Bill’s proposals.
These proposed Rule-changes were proposed to the Committee by the Non-Government Bills Unit, which has the lead role in relation to Private and Hybrid Bill procedure, and which is responsible for explaining the procedures to promoters of Private Bills, and objectors to Bills of either sort.
