Theme Review of relevant powers
Recommendation (the committee's words)
In the absence of an explanation as to why it is considered appropriate that the Secretary of State should be able to exercise this power within devolved competence for Scotland rather than the Scottish Ministers alone, the Committee considers that the power, in so far as exercisable within devolved competence for Scotland, should be conferred on the Scottish Ministers alone. The Committee invites the lead Committee to pursue these points.
