Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026

Debate

Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2026

Contribution

I think I have dealt with the possibility of amendments to the Bill in the UK Parliament, but the noble Baroness suggested at the end of her comments that it would be helpful to have something in writing. I dealt with why we do not have a draft Section 104 order, as requested by the committee, and why that would simply not be appropriate. However, the Scottish Affairs Committee asked some searching questions; we have given our response, and I sincerely hope it will publish that and place it in the Library.
