(G) Parliamentary Committees
The membership of
the new Parliamentary Committees has been agreed, with some changes made
in the name or function of Committees, bringing them into line with
ministerial portfolios. The major change has been the division of
Transport and Environment to two existing committees – with Transport
joined to Local Government and the Environment coupled with Rural
Development, reducing the number of Committees to 16.
While this move
meant (by the complex formula which determines the allocation of these)
that the Greens lost out on a convenership, they secured a deputy
convenership (of Environment & Rural Development); so did the Scottish
Socialists, but they decided not to take up the deputy convenership of the
Subordinate Legislation Committee.
