We are being asked to agree to conduct an inquiry, presumably by the convening of a parliamentary committee comprised of elected representatives of competing political parties to scrutinise the internal financial operations of one of those competing political parties.

I also consider that these amendments do not meet the principle of encouraging full participation in the democratic process.
I am concerned that NC107 in particular takes no account of Gaelic, Scots or British Sign Language.
Every single member who can sit on such a committee has a direct material interest in the outcome of its findings.
Scottish Gaelic, Scots, and BSL are all legally recognised languages in Scotland, and the ethos of our respect for these languages run contrary to these amendments.
