FS4-38 Scottish Parliament Committees: List of Members: Session 5 2

Committees play a central part in the work of the Parliament – taking evidence from witnesses, scrutinising legislation and conducting inquiries. Most committees meet weekly or fortnightly, usually on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday mornings, in one of the Scottish Parliament's committee rooms – or in locations around Scotland. Each committee has a Convener and a Deputy Convener. Conveners convene and chair meetings but are not required to be impartial. Deputy Conveners can also chair meetings and cover for the Convener. Under Rule 6.3A of the Standing Orders of the Scottish Parliament, a political party represented by five or more Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) may nominate a member of that party to be a substitute (referred to as a "committee substitute") for the members of that party on a particular committee. These committee substitutes must be approved by the Parliament on a motion of the Parliamentary Bureau.
