Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes are published to accompany the Scottish Parliamentary Standards (Sexual Harassment and Complaints Process) Act 2021. They have been prepared by Scottish Parliament officials on behalf of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee, whose convener, Bill Kidd MSP, introduced the Bill for this Act in the Parliament.
2.The Notes should be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section, or a part of a section, does not seem to require any explanation, none is given.
