If someone had a complaint against an MSP and they were not a member of that MSP’s staff—if they were a Parliament staff member or a staff member of another MSP—it would be dealt with through the code of conduct.
We have received apologies from Willie Coffey MSP and Neil Bibby MSP. I welcome John Mason MSP and Johann Lamont MSP, who are attending in their place.
Membership changes
The following membership changes took place during the inquiry on 5 March 2020:
Tom Arthur MSP replaced Alasdair Allan MSP

The committee asked the Scottish Government about the wording of proposed new subsection (2A) in section 82 of the Scotland Act 1998, which is intended to prevent an MSP who is also an MP from receiving an MSP salary.
Following the completion of the evidence taking, and before the report consideration stage, the membership of the Committee changed, with Clare Haughey MSP and Ruth Maguire MSP joining the Committee to replace Richard Lochhead MSP and Fulton MacGregor MSP.
Members enrolled for the visit are Committee Convener Finlay Carson MSP; Deputy Convener Beatrice Wishart MSP; Emma Harper MSP; Elena Whitham MSP; Rhoda Grant MSP; Emma Roddick MSP; Arianne Burgess MSP and Colin Beattie MSP.
