Draft Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Bill
I am interested in the question of suspending councillors and the presumption of innocence. When a situation arises in which something has gone radically wrong, a decision is taken to suspend someone pending investigation. The guilt of that person is not decided on until the i...

Is it not illogical that such people should still be councillors and entitled to stand for re-election during the interim period?

Draft Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Bill
I understand your reservations about interim suspension. I have come across difficulties in that area. We all understand that, when there is an enormous crime to be investigated, the only way of saving the reputation of the council in question is to get the person out the door.

First, I want to welcome two former colleagues from Renfrewshire Council to the committee. That is my interest declared for the public record.The society has reservations about the possible outcomes of inquiries in which a councillor has been found guilty of an offence, especi...

Draft Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Bill
There was no difficulty with the clarity of your comments. I was trying to say that if a councillor is found guilty of an offence in committee A, and is suspended from that committee for a year or five years, the public's perception of the offender will probably remain the sam...

You said in your statement that you had operational concerns about the standards commission, but you did not expand on that. Would you like to do so now?

Could you describe briefly how you cope with it, so that the public perception is not confused by the multiplicity of referees?

Draft Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Bill
I was interested in what you said about the other committee—which will remain nameless—that wants to encourage more people to get involved in local government. Perhaps it is because I have an old, headmasterly interest in punishment that I noted your comment that—

Draft Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Bill
The members on this committee are terrible.What kind of non-draconian punishment would deter councillors from misbehaving and be publicly perceived as an appropriate punishment? The matter is not as academic as it seems.

Regulation 9 says that an authority must notify an applicant of its decision within seven days, but the regulation does not say how long the authority has to come to a decision. That would seem to be fairly fundamental, given what authorities can get up to when it comes to res...

Apart from the point about indicating that the instrument is Scottish, the acronym SFGS is meaningless as it stands. Never mind the word "Scottish"—the words "forestry grant scheme" should be used.
