Scotland Bill

Debate between Baroness McIntosh of Pickering and Lord Dunlop

Monday 29th February 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness McIntosh of Pickering]

Did I understand my noble friend to say that this House and the other place will be able to debate the annual reports on the fiscal framework, which will have been adopted by the Scottish Parliament, but will not be allowed to debate the fiscal framework itself now? That seems rather bizarre.

[Lord Dunlop]

I think that we are debating the fiscal framework at this moment. As to whether there will be debates on the annual reports, it will up to each House to decide what debates it wants to have on them and what scrutiny it wants to give. Given the interest in the subject, I anticipate that there will be detailed scrutiny.
