What Committee structure should the Parliament create?
21.1 There were a whole host of ideas emerging from the consultation exercise which attempted to prescribe possible Committee structures which the Parliament might create. Evidently, this manifested itself largely in interest groups advocating particular Committees which related to their constituency – for example, a Committee on Equality (supported by a Minister and an Equality Unit) was supported by the Equality Network and endorsed by other equal opportunities groups and a Children’s Committee was suggested by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and Children in Scotland. Rape Crisis Centre suggested that the example from Glasgow City Council, where the Equality Committee is backed up by various sub Committees should be adopted.
