 Good morning and welcome to the 7th meeting of 2020 of the Economy and Fair Work Committee. Our first item of business is a decision to take item 3, which is the work programme in private. Our members content to take this item in private. Our next item of business is consideration of a second supplementary legislative consent memorandum on the UK Parliament professional qualifications bill. This is a UK Government bill introducing the House of Lords on 12 May 2021, which changes the law on devolved matters. The committee did consider the first LCM on 29 September and published a report on 22 November. Following amendments to the bill, the committee did consider a second LCM on 9 February and published a further report that same day, following which the Parliament debated the LCM. The UK Government has confirmed that it is not prepared to add the consent mechanism to the bill sought by the Scottish Government, but has agreed to include a consultation with devolved authorities amendment that was tabled on 22 February. Following the amendment, the minister wrote to the committee and the Scottish Government lodging a second supplementary LCM, noting that its position on the bill remained unchanged, but it did not recommend that Parliament give it consent to the bill. The Parliament agreed on 1 March that, for the purposes of consideration of the second supplementary LCM, standing orders would be suspended, removing the requirement for the committee to publish a report. I invite the committee to note the second supplementary LCM on the professional qualifications bill and the minister's letter. That concludes the public part of this morning's meeting and we will now move into private session.
