Legislative Drafting

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many responses the Scotland Office has received to the consultation on the Government's legislative programme.

Answer: The Scotland Office received 314 hits on our website pages dedicated to the Government's draft legislative programme: the first to be published in advance of the Queen's Speech. We received three substantive comments on the programme. Other Departments have also received responses on the programme from across the United Kingdom. The Leader of the House of Commons has already committed to publishing a summary of all consultation responses received by the Government and she will do so at the start of the next session.
