Clause 31
1:45 pm
Ann McKechin (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Scotland Office; Glasgow North, Labour)
I am pleased to confirm that we are working closely with the devolved Administrations and that we have an agreement in principle on this matter. Obviously, they are advancing at different times, but the point of devolution is that we learn from different experiences, and, as I said, we will leave the door open to those Administrations to have similar pilots in their areas. However, I am pleased to confirm that, on the general principles, we have consent from all the devolved Administrations.
