Answered Asked by Stephen Kerr Con Lodged 30 Oct 2026

The question

To ask the Scottish Government whether a handover meeting, or meetings, took place in 2026 between the outgoing Lord Advocate and her successor, whether agendas and minutes were recorded for any such meetings and, if so, whether these will be published.

The answer

Answered by Ruth Charteris on 11 Nov 2026 · 12 days after it was lodged, on time

There was no handover meeting between the outgoing and incoming Lord Advocate in 2026. As a result, the Scottish Government does not hold agendas, minutes or other records relating to such a meeting, and therefore there are no documents to publish.
