Recommendation
Repealing the publication scheme duty and introducing a duty to proactively publish
Recommendation · verbatim
The Committee notes the broad consensus among stakeholders, and the Scottish Government, that the publication scheme duty is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. The Committee therefore considers that its repeal would be the correct approach provided a suitable alternative provision is developed.
