Scotland Act 2016

Lord Sanderson of Bowden Excerpts

Wednesday 20th April 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Dunlop]

There are regular reports to Parliament on different aspects of the devolution settlement, and we will always look at how these can be improved. We have undertaken to make annual reports to this House and to Parliament on the general operation of the fiscal framework, and that is very positive.

[Lord Sanderson of Bowden (Con)]

Following on from the last question, when does my noble friend expect to see the first report, post this Act, from the Scottish Fiscal Commission on the projections for Scotland over the next year or two?

[Lord Dunlop]

I am not sure I can give a specific date for when the first report from that commission will be forthcoming but I am happy to write to my noble friend with further information on that.
