SCTS AND THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT Relationship Sample Clauses

SCTS AND THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT Relationship. 4.1 The SCTS will be corporately accountable to the Scottish Parliament for the efficient use of public resources. The principal route of accountability to the Scottish Parliament is through the CEO as Accountable Officer. The SCTS has the right to make representations and proposals to the Scottish Parliament on matters relating to the functions of the SCTS or the administration of justice in Scotland, either at the invitation of Parliament or through the Scottish Ministers. Neither the exercise nor the non-exercise of this right precludes expression of SCTS views on these matters in correspondence with individual or representative parliamentarians. 4.2 The Scottish Parliament has the power to require the attendance of any non- judicial member or officer of the SCTS.

In particular, PQs may seek statistical information from the Scottish Ministers about the performance of the justice system, and Ministers may seek information from the SCTS to enable them to respond to such questions.
