Item 4 is consideration of our approach to scrutiny of the financial memorandum to the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Bill. Level 1 scrutiny is proposed, which means that we would seek written evidence from affected bodies and then submit responses to the lead committee for consideration. Do members agree to conduct level 1 scrutiny?
Do members agree that the committee should write to local authorities, the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, the Association of Directors of Education in Scotland and Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education?
