Scottish Parliament committee: Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Recommendation 19

Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee Session 6 Legacy Report SP Paper 1111 Published 25 March 2026 Report is 0.6 year old
Recommendation (the committee's words)
We suggest that in the next Parliamentary session the Parliamentary authorities, led by the Bureau, reflect on whether the deadline on lodging Member's Bills currently set out in Standing Orders guarantees committees sufficient scrutiny time. Whether or not there is any formal change to Standing Orders, we suggest that the Non-Government Bills Unit work with Members with the aim of lodging Members' Bills as early as possible, consistent with producing a well worked-up Bill.
