Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Minister for Parliamentary Business

Meeting date: 14 September 2021

Stuart McMillan

Colleagues have no further questions. I should say for the public record that Lady Paton from the SLC will be appearing before the committee in two weeks’ time.

Minister, I thank you and your officials for the evidence that you have provided. I know that you have one or two action points. The committee might want to write to you with other questions after we have our discussion.

They are somewhere virtually.

With that, I suspend the meeting; we will reconvene in a few moments.

The first item of business is to decide whether to take items 8 and 9 in private. Is the committee content to take those items in private?

For agenda item 2, we have before us the Minister for Parliamentary Business, George Adam MSP, to give evidence on the work of the Scottish Government as it relates to the committee. Mr Adam is accompanied by two Scottish Government officials, who are appearing remotely. Steven Macgregor is head of the Parliament and legislation unit, and Susan Herbert is head of the subordinate legislation team in the Parliament and legislation unit. We hope also to be joined by Rachel Rayner, who is deputy legislation co-ordinator in the Scottish Government’s legal directorate. I welcome you all to the meeting and the minister to his new role.

The minister will be aware that the committee in the previous session had an excellent working relationship with the previous minister. We are certainly keen to ensure that that continues in this parliamentary session.

Do you wish to make any opening remarks, minister?
