Abstract

During Session 6 of the Scottish Parliament, post-legislative scrutiny was declared to be a strategic priority. This briefing provides an evaluation of the post-legislative scrutiny undertaken by committees during Session 6. It highlights the full post-legislative scrutiny inquiries undertaken by committees (i.e. where a formal inquiry was followed by a written report), as well as innovative approaches that have been trialled. It concludes with a summary of findings from a survey of MSPs and officials on their engagement with post-legislative scrutiny during Session 6.
