Recommendation · verbatim
The timetable for this Bill has been challenging. Given that the Bill has arisen as a result of issues with the 2024 Act and the Scottish Government's change of view on the options which should be available for charging the levy, there is an argument to be made for careful and thorough scrutiny of the amending legislation. The Policy Memorandum could have included more justification for the expedited timetable the Bill has been subject to.
