BUSINESS BULLETIN No. 93/2013 Thursday 6 June 2013

Scottish Law Commission Bills

Members will be aware that the Parliament agreed motion S4M-06693: Implementing Scottish Law Commission reports on 28 May 2013 and the associated Standing Orders changes were made on 5 June 2013. As a result, Scottish Law Commission Bills, as defined by Rule 9.17A.1, now fall within the remit of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee under Rule 6.11 and may be referred to it as lead committee.

As well as implementing all or part of a report of the Scottish Law Commission, the definition of a Scottish Law Commission Bill includes criteria to be determined by the Presiding Officer. The Presiding Officer has determined under Rule 9.17A.1(b) that a Scottish Law Commission Bill is a Bill within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament—

(a) where there is a wide degree to consensus amongst key stakeholders about the need for reform and the approach recommended; (b) which does not relate directly to criminal law reform; (c) which does not have significant financial implications; (d) which does not have significant European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) implications; and (e) where the Scottish Government is not planning wider work in that particular subject area.

An updated version Guidance on Public Bills will be published in due course taking account of these changes. The clerks in the Legislation Team are happy to answer queries about this or other aspects of public bill procedure – contact them on 0131 348 5277 or by e-mailing [email protected].

S4M-06832 Drew Smith: Trades Unions and Businesses Reject Pledge on Corporation Tax—That the Parliament notes the reaction of both trades unions and businesses to what it considers the SNP’s race-to-the-bottom pledge to slash corporation tax; understands that the STUC’s report, A Just Scotland, stated that the STUC believes that the notion that the long-term growth rate can be improved by cutting corporation tax is misguided; further understands that the Scottish Council for Development and Industry report, Future Scotland: Future Growth, noted that businesses did not believe that cutting corporation tax was a priority and that there was no great desire to participate in a rush to a lowest tax environment; further

understands that the report warned that an independent Scotland would lose influence over its monetary policy if it forged a sterling zone with the UK but withdrew its political representation, and looks forward to further debating the SNP’s plans for what it considers a tax haven Scotland in the run-up to the September 2014 referendum and to receiving further clarity on whether the Scottish Government also wishes to abolish capital gains tax.

*S4M-06832.1 Kenneth Gibson: Trades Unions and Businesses Reject Pledge on Corporation Tax—As an amendment to motion S4M-06832 in the name of Drew Smith (Trades Unions and Businesses Reject Pledge on Corporation Tax), leave out from ―the reaction‖ to end and insert ―what it considers the hypocrisy of the Labour Party regarding changes to the rate of corporation tax; recognises that, under the last Labour administration, corporation tax was cut on three separate occasions; notes that it fell from 33% to 31% in April 1997 then to 30% in April 1999 and was further cut to 28% in 2008; considers that the Labour Party appears to be keen to attack others for having policies similar to its while in power; believes that while the shadow chancellor, Ed Balls, and the Labour Party’s UK leader, Ed Miliband, appear quick to bemoan the position of the UK Government’s decision to drop the top rate of income tax to 45p, this is, for the most part, higher than the rate set by the Labour Party administration in which Mr Balls and Mr Miliband served, when the highest rate of income tax was 40p and stood at 50p only for what it sees as a mere 36 days of the party’s 13 years in office; notes what it considers further regressive policy positions adopted by the then Labour Party administration, including the decisions to retain Trident, keep the unelected House of Lords, invade Iraq, introduce tuition fees and abolish the 10p income tax rate; further notes what it considers Labour’s reliance on costly and wasteful PFI/PPP projects and its failure to close tax loopholes and refusal to tackle payday lending; understands that the Institute for Social and Economic Research estimated that the Labour Party administration’s proposals to scrap both attendance and disability living allowance would have forced 67,000 disabled people in Scotland into poverty; believes that what it sees as the Labour Party’s rhetoric on issues pertaining to social justice and progressiveness does not match its record in office or its recent policy proposals, which, it understands, include reductions to welfare payments in Scotland, the abolition of universal benefits and to have prolonged austerity measures, and considers that exposure of what it sees as such hypocrisy goes some way to accounting for the Labour Party languishing in opposition in the Parliament.‖

A member seeking to introduce a Member’s Bill must first lodge a draft proposal, together with a consultation document (or a statement of reasons why consultation is not considered necessary). Subsequently, the member may lodge a final proposal, in broadly similar terms to the draft, accompanied by a summary of consultation responses (or the statement of reasons). The member secures the right to introduce a Bill to give effect to the proposal if the final proposal secures, within one month, the support of at least 18 other members from at least half the political parties or groups represented in the Parliamentary Bureau, and provided no indication is given that the Scottish Government or UK Government is planning equivalent legislation.

All current proposals (together with associated documents) are available on the Scottish Parliament website at: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/parliamentarybusiness/Bills/12419.aspx Current Final Proposals Names marked with an asterisk (*) are new names of support. Where a proposal has secured the necessary level of cross-party support, the supporters’ names are shown in bold.

As soon as a Public Bill (i.e. a Government, Committee or Member’s Bill) has completed Stage 1, amendments for consideration at Stage 2 may be lodged; and as soon as Stage 2 is completed, amendments for Stage 3 consideration may be lodged. The last lodging day for amendments at Stage 2 is three sitting days before the meeting at which those amendments will be considered (e.g. Thursday for a meeting on Tuesday); at Stage 3 it is four days before. Amendments may be lodged until 4.30 pm on any sitting day, except on the last lodging day for Stage 2, when the deadline is 12 noon.

A Hybrid Bill is subject to the same rules except in the case of Stage 2 where amendments for consideration may be lodged no earlier than the completion of any consideration of evidence at Stage 2.

Amendments to Private Bills are subject to different deadlines. These are set out in Rule 9A.12 of Standing Orders.

Members are advised to lodge amendments in good time before the beginning of a Stage and as early as possible during the day.
