Answered by Lewis Macdonald on 15 Dec 2003 · 24 days after it was lodged, 7 days after it was due

The Scottish Executive is in regular contact with the UK Government on a wide range of issues, including the implications for devolved matters in Scotland ofits legislative programme. This contact reflects the approach, set out inDevolution Guidance Note 1 in accordance with the principles set out in the memorandum of understanding, that the administrations normally consult each other from an early stage on the development of relevant legislative proposals.
It should be noted, in connection with this question and question S2W-4368, that a single Energy Bill is proposed rather than separate Bills on Nuclear Sites and Radioactive Substances and Electricity (Trading and Transmission).
