What happens to Cross-Party Groups when the Parliament is dissolved?

The activities of Cross-Party Groups (CPGs) are frozen during dissolution because there are no MSPs, and they are not able to meet or conduct business without at least two MSPs who are members of the group being present at each meeting. If they wish to continue after the election, existing CPGs will have to re-register within 90 days of the first meeting of the Parliament. Those that do not re-register within this time will automatically cease to exist.
