CLA(4)-09-11(p2) – Supplementary Legislative Consent Motion

CLA(4)-09-11(p3) – Briefing on the Legislative Consent Motion: Education Bill

The Business Committee considered a paper from the government regarding a supplementary Legislative Consent Memorandum (LCM) for amendments tabled to the Education Bill. Given the timing of the Bill in Westminster, the Business Committee agreed that it would not be referred for committee consideration and therefore may be tabled for debate in Plenary on 1 November 2011.

The Presiding Officer stressed that once the UK Government’s new legislative programme is known, she expects sufficient notice to be given to the Assembly so that scrutiny is not by-passed in this way. The Leader of the House agreed to give further consideration to how the Assembly can be given earlier warning of anticipated Legislative Consent Motions.
