Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Scottish Public Services Ombudsman

Meeting date: 26 November 2024

Fulton MacGregor

I am just wondering whether the charities that you and Fiona Collie represent have seen evidence of that.

Annual Report of the Standards Commission 2023-24

Meeting date: 19 November 2024

Fulton MacGregor

Good morning. My questions follow on from Mark Griffin’s line of questioning about the letter that was sent to the Scottish Government. The letter also proposes that legislation be amended to allow the SCS to consider previous breaches by a respondent when determining the sanction to be applied for any new contravention. Could you elaborate on the extent to which repeat offenders are a problem? What impact would the proposal have?

Meeting date: 19 November 2024

That is great. The commission would like new powers to be included and a clear route for the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body to remove or replace an incumbent SCS member or the Ethical Standards Commissioner. Why is that amendment required?

Short-term Lets

Meeting date: 19 November 2024

It has been well documented that licensing authorities have made it clear—they have told the committee this—that nine months is not a sufficient amount of time to process the most complex applications. Minister, what consideration are you giving to extending that deadline?

Short-term Lets

Meeting date: 19 November 2024

Fulton MacGregor

Good morning to the minister and to his team. I will follow on from the last line of questioning. Licensing authorities have asked for clarity on the operation of licence transfers, provisional licensing and also on home swaps. Minister, do you intend to provide additional guidance or update regulations in those areas and, if you are, do you know when that might happen?

I was going to ask a follow-up question, but you have answered it. Thanks very much.

It will be reassuring for your members to have that on the record.

There are not a lot of repeat offenders—for want of a better term—or individuals who consistently come back to you.

Criminal Justice Committee

Pre-budget Scrutiny 2025-26

Meeting date: 13 November 2024

Fulton MacGregor

Do you have an early indication of how much that might save in time or in cash, or will we simply have to wait and see?

Meeting date: 13 November 2024

Fulton MacGregor

I will try to be as quick as possible, convener.

Cabinet secretary, can you provide an update on the work around reviewing the distribution of section 27 funds in relation to criminal justice social work? Social Work Scotland told the committee that it would like all justice social work funding to be consolidated and baselined in the local government settlement.
