In accordance with the provisions on Cross-Party Groups (CPGs) set out in Section 6 of the Code of Conduct (the Code), proposals for the establishment of CPGs in the Scottish Parliament must be submitted to the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee for its approval. 2. The provisions referred to in this note relate to Volume 2, Section 6, of the Code of Conduct. 3. There are two proposed Groups for the Committee‘s consideration. Proposed CPG on Independent Convenience Stores 4. The registration form submitted by the proposed CPG on Independent Convenience Stores is attached at Annexe A to this note. Consideration by the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee 5. Paragraph 6.3.10 of the Code states ―….As part of its consideration, the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee will invite one of the proposed Group‘s MSP office bearers (usually the Convener) to attend a meeting to explain the justification for the proposed Group‖. Gordon MacDonald MSP has been invited to the meeting to discuss registration of the proposed Group. Purpose 6. Paragraph 6.3.11 of the Code states ―the Committee will pay particular attention to a proposed Group‘s purpose. If the Committee considers that a Group is being proposed not in the public interest but, for example, to further particular commercial interests, the Group will not be accorded recognition. The Committee will also consider whether the purpose of a proposed Group overlaps the remit of an existing Group. The proposed Group has been asked to provide justification as to why its aim could not effectively be achieved within the existing Group‖. 7. The stated purpose of the proposed Cross-Party Group on Independent Convenience Stores is— ―To inform MSPs of the issues and challenges facing independent convenience stores and to highlight the contribution local neighbourhood shops make to Scotland's communities - particularly helping to sustain rural and marginalised urban communities - and to Scotland's economy (there are more convenience stores per head of population than in the rest of the UK). The group will bring together the key stakeholders in the independent convenience store sector: retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and trade associations. It will connect with wider 1 SPPA/S5/16/6/1 stakeholders in the voluntary and charity sectors and invite guest speakers to participate.‖ Membership 8. Paragraph 6.4.1 of the Code requires Group membership to include at least five MSPs, with at least one MSP from each of the parties or groups represented on the Parliamentary Bureau. The Committee has previously agreed that there should be a general waiver of this Rule in the current Session and Groups are now required to have five MSPs from the majority of parties represented on the Parliamentary Bureau. The proposed Group meets this requirement. 9. The MSP membership (by party) of the proposed Group is as follows— 3 Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party 3 Scottish Labour Party 4 Scottish National Party 10. Paragraph 6.4.2 entitles groups to contain members from outwith the Parliament, but states that the overall membership of the CPG should be Parliamentary in nature. The proposed Group has listed two non-MSP members in the individual category and 33 in non-MSP member organisations. Office Bearers 11. Paragraph 6.4.3 requires one MSP to be Convener of the Group and there to be at least one other MSP office bearer. The proposed Group meets this requirement: Gordon MacDonald MSP is the Convener and Anas Sarwar MSP is the Deputy-Convener. Financial Benefits and Subscription 12. The registration form indicates that the Group will not receive financial benefits exceeding £500 per annum. 13. The registration form also indicates that members will not be charged a subscription. Proposed CPG on Building Bridges with Israel 14. The registration form submitted by the proposed CPG on Building Bridges with Israel is attached at Annexe B to this note. Consideration by the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee 15. Jackson Carlaw MSP has been invited to the meeting to discuss registration of the proposed Group. Purpose 16.

The MSP membership (by party) of the proposed Group is as follows— 5 Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party 1 Scottish Labour Party 1 Scottish Liberal Democrat 2 Scottish National Party 18.

  • Four Corners 60
    Scotland’s Jewish Gathering They came from the north and the south, they came from the east and the west! More than 150 Jewish people from all over Scotland – from the Western Isles and the Grampians to Galloway, from all strands of Judaism and none, aged from 3 to 83 – converged on Edinburgh Synagogue DIAMOND ISSUE DIAMOND and Community Centre over the weekend of 26th to 28th October for a programme of inspiring speakers, rousing music, stimulating discussion – and just getting to know one another better. Guest speakers included Board of Deputies vice-president Edwin Shuker, who had fled from Baghdad just before his bar mitzvah and spoke emotionally about his gratitude that he lives in a country where the Jewish community can thrive. Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf, speaking after news of the atrocity in Pittsburgh had broken, expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims and with Jewish people throughout the world, and reiterated the Scottish Government’s commitment “to tackle prejudice and build the society we want to be, where each person, every family, and all communities can flourish.” The programme included a special open meeting of SCoJeC’s Council, and there were also discussions on tackling demographic change, women in Judaism, mental health, Jewish schools, fundraising, and the use of technology and social media. There was a stirring candle-lit musical Havdalah, a sing-along klezmer session, and separate activities for the 20 children aged 3 to 16. The final session was an unprecedented panel of the chairs of all Scotland’s Jewish communities, whose discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing them quickly turned into agreement that what they have in common hugely outweighs their differences of geography and affiliation.

    Journal of the Scottish Parliament Volume 2: 2nd Parliamentary Year, Session 3 (9 May 2008 – 8 May 2009) SPJ 3.2 © Parliamentary copyright. Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body Information on the Scottish Parliament’s copyright policy can be found on the website - www.scottish.parliament.uk or by contacting Public Information on 0131 348 5000. Foreword The Journal is the central, long-term, authoritative record of what the Parliament has done. The Minutes of Proceedings, which are produced for each meeting of the Parliament, do that in an immediate way, while the Journal presents essentially the same material but has the benefit of hindsight to allow any errors and infelicities of presentation to be corrected. Unlike the Official Report, which primarily records what is said, the Minutes of Proceedings, and in the longer term the Journal, provide the authoritative record of what was done. The Journal is required under Rule 16.3 of Standing Orders and contains, in addition to the Minutes of Proceedings themselves, notice of any Bill introduced*, notice of any instrument or draft instrument or any other document laid before the Parliament; notice of any report of a committee, and any other matter that the Parliament, on a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau, considers should be included. (* The requirement to include notice of Bills introduced was only added to Rule 16.3 in January 2003. However, such notices have in practice been recorded in the Annex to the Minutes of Proceedings from the outset.) Note: (DT), which appears throughout the Journal, signifies a decision taken at Decision Time.

  • Brexit and Scottish Nationalism
    Brexit and Scottish Nationalism An Interview with Fiona Simpkins by Mélanie Cournil & Alice Bonzom The Brexit vote, welcomed with dismay in Scotland, has prompted the Scottish National Party to present itself as the only sound alternative to Westminster’s policies, viewed as damaging to Scottish interests. F. Simpkins analyses the SNP’s strategies and outlines the many political challenges ahead. Fiona Simpkins is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary British History, Politics and Society at the University Lumière of Lyon, France. Her main areas of research are devolution, Scottish politics, nationalism and the constitutional debate in Scotland. Recently, she has explored the impact of devolution and sub-national party competition on party organisation and branding. She has published several articles or book chapters on Scotland's unionist parties and focused more specifically on the resurgence of the Scottish Conservative party in Scotland after 2016. She has published her research in a variety of books and journals, including the Revue Française de Civilisation Britannique, Observatoire de la Société Britannique, and Etudes Ecossaises. Books & Ideas: How would you explain the rise of the Scottish National Party over the last 15 years? Fiona Simpkins: The Scottish National Party (SNP) was founded in 1934 but its electoral successes were few and far between until the mid-1960s to late 1970s when the party made its first electoral breakthroughs. It was then able to argue for further autonomy for Scotland and to attract a more moderate electorate than previously— voters who did not necessarily consider themselves as separatists but who were keen on defending Scotland’s economic interests and a more democratic system of government.
