 Thank you very much and good morning and welcome to the second meeting in 2018. Can I ask members and members of the public to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent? Apologies have been received from Fulton, McGregor and no substitute has been coming forward. We have a delegation from Bahrain which I would like to welcome to the committee meeting this morning. Good morning. The first item on the agenda this morning is post-legislative scrutiny. This is to consider the committee's approach to its post-legislative scrutiny. Just to remind people that the point of post-legislative scrutiny is to go back into areas that the committee has dealt with in the past to look to see whether the legislation that has been passed by the Government is working as it intended. There is a paper on this that has been published and I invite any members of the committee who would like to make comment to make comment on that paper. On the paper, it suggests a few bills that we could have a look at. It is important that the public appreciates that. In the first point of our predecessor committee, the Rural Affairs Committee, we did see a number of bills through when they are not on the suggested list. It is important to let people know that the reason they are not on the suggested list is because they are now being dealt with a different committee and not this committee, so people are fully aware of that fact. That is entirely right. With the split of the two committees, we have different interests now to the original committee, so that will be important. Stuart, I think that I wanted to say something and then John. I just thought of use what we put on the record. I am not quite sure how to deal with this and we may not have to. One of the bills that we have on our list is a bill that I was responsible for as a minister. I just think that it is important to draw the committee's attention to the fact that I might end up in the slightly odd position of appearing to review my own work. Therefore, if we select the bill concerned for consideration, equally we should consider how my role should properly be played out in that regard. I do not expect we will select it, but you never know. We are not going to ask you which bill that was, but that is an important point. John. A couple of points. We now have the Public Audit and Post-legislative Scrutiny Committee, which we did not use to have. Who and how are we deciding what legislation they scrutinise because presumably they can scrutinise anything and how are we deciding which stuff that we or the other subject committees would scrutinise? I think that, where they have a role, we can approach them if it is important within our scrutiny of the legislation, but I think that it is important that this committee takes a lead on the competencies that it deals with. I think that that is the way we would deal with that. OK. My other point would just be that there is a list here of some of the bills that we could look at. I have to say that I am not familiar with exactly what was in the Transport Bill in session 1 or the Transport Bill in session 2, so maybe the public and we could get some guidance about that before we make a decision. Absolutely. When we take these out to consultation to see which stakeholders would like us to look at, there will be a brief summary of what is in each of the bills so that they know what the bills cover. Are there any other questions? John. Sorry, just to revisit the point that Mike made, would it be worthwhile as part of the consultation, because I think that it is hugely important to get the public involvement to outline what the present committee's remit is then? Yes. I think that that would be a useful introduction to what we are doing, yes. I think that that would be. I am not sure that the clerks will make that happen now. Jamie. Very briefly, convener. Can I ask what criteria will be used to decide on who should be consulted? I suspect that, with some of those bills, there may be an areas of contention that are relevant to specific stakeholders who have a particularly louder voice than others who may have interest in the bill. I mean, when we do calls for evidence from the committee, as you know, it will go out to all the interested stakeholders that are involved in the work that the committee does. So it would be on the same basis. It would be as wide a call for views as we could possibly get. So I am sure that, as we get close to the time, we will be reviewing the list and we can make sure, if anyone thinks that there is anyone else that we have missed. But I mean, in fairness, we usually get a pretty good response from the committee to the call to evidence if we put it out to everyone. As the clerks are saying, it is obviously available on the website, and we will try and put it out on social media as much as possible to Government as much support as we can. Peter. Can I just ask a simple question? Obviously, we are going to put this out widely to the general public. Is it the decision as to which bills will look at dependent on the responses we get back, namely the level of responses? I mean, is it about how many people want to see a particular bill looked at, and that is how we would decide which ones we have picked? Is that too simplistic? I think that, first of all, we have got to make sure that the responses fit the criteria for process legislative scrutiny that is laid down in the approach document. I think that it is for the committee to sit down as a committee and decide where we can make the most impact on what bit of legislation it is concerned. Obviously, we would be mindful for all the responses that we receive, but I think that that is a debate when we see the level of responses, and the committee then has a chance to consider each of the responses as we do in every call for evidence that we do. Somewhat more questions than I anticipated there, for which I thank you for keeping me on my toes. Can I ask if the committee has agreed with the approach paper as outlined in relation to the process legislative scrutiny? We agree. Thank you very much. The committee now is going to move into private session, so thank you.
