We regularly produce Briefing Papers which provide a more
detailed overview of a current issue, proposed legislation or topic
open for public consultation.
You can navigate via the subject headings on the left hand side to
look through past SCPO briefings.
Numbering: The first number relates to
the Parliamentary year in which the Briefing Paper was
written, eg 1: pre- Scottish Parliament; 2: 1999-2000;
3: 2000-2001 and so on, until 12: 2009-2010.
In each Parliamentary year, briefing papers are numbered
sequentially. This is the second number.
