FEARS have been raised that the Scottish Parliament will not get a say on the main "missions" of the UK Government’s Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill.
Research by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe) has highlighted concerns that if the bill is passed, these missions will only be set out in a statement to the UK Parliament - meaning they will not receive any scrutiny from MSPs.
Although a framework for them is set out in the White Paper, Part 1 of the Bill – which would compel UK Government ministers to publish a statement on its aims – does not contain any more specific information.
