The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will lodge a Sewel motion in respect of the Disabled People (Duties of Public Authorities) Bill seeking the consent of the Scottish Parliament for the United Kingdom Parliament to (a) legislate in a devolved area and (b) transfer powers to the Executive in respect of this matter, before the conclusion of the bill's Second Reading in the House of Commons.
The answer
The Executive is considering the Disabled People (Duties of Public Authorities) Bill and will advise of any Sewel motion that it intends to lodge if and when it concludes, following discussion with the UK Government, that provisions in the bill which relate to devolved matters should be recommended for extension to Scotland.
