Conveners Group

Conveners Group Each committee in the Parliament has a convener. The Conveners Group is made up of all the conveners. It is chaired by the Presiding Officer or a Deputy Presiding Officer. The Conveners Group meets regularly to:

• Discuss issues affecting committees
• Communicate between the committees and other parts of the Parliament, like the Parliamentary Bureau and SPCB
• Look at how committees are working
• Make recommendations to the Parliamentary Bureau about committee business in the Chamber
• Approve committee meetings taking place outside of Edinburgh
• Approve committee travel outside the UK

The rules about how the Conveners Group works are in Chapter 6A of the Standing Orders
