Examination of Witnesses (Questions 80
- 82)
WEDNESDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2010
MS LINDA
ROSBOROUGH
Q80 Chairman: In general terms, how
has the Scottish Government followed up the recommendations of
the Calman Commission?
Ms Rosborough: We responded formally.
Q81 Chairman: Have there been subsequent
meetings with the Secretary of State, for example, to follow through
the individual recommendations?
Ms Rosborough: There has been
a large amount of correspondence and the Scottish Government has
actually produced some draft regulations to provide for fairly
immediate implementation of many of the recommendations contained
within.
Q82 Chairman: Okay, but is there
a dialogue at the moment on the Calman recommendations or not
between the Scottish Government and the Secretary of State?
Ms Rosborough: Certainly there
is a written dialogue occurring. I am not sure about meetings,
but certainly there is a written dialogue. I have not seen signs
of any desire for very rapid implementation of the particular
ones relating to The Crown Estate.
Chairman: Yes, I see, you are not getting
a response. All right. Unless my colleagues have any other questions,
we are going to leave it there. Thank you very much indeed.
