Scotland Secretary faces scrutiny by Committee of MPs 

Secretary of State for Scotland, Alister Jack MP, and senior Government officials will face questions from the Scottish Affairs Committee on the work of the Scotland Office in an upcoming scrutiny session.

Likely areas of questioning

Questions are likely on intergovernmental relations, including the frequency of inter-ministerial group meetings, which are intended to promote joint decision making, as well as the lack of inter-ministerial group meetings in areas such as health, transport and justice. 

Scotland’s public finances, green freeports and the deposit return scheme could also be on the agenda.
