Scotland
The regulatory committee of a category 1 regulator is to appoint one of its lay members as its convener.
If the convener is not present at a meeting of the committee, another of its lay members is to chair the meeting.
A sub-committee of the regulatory committee may—
be chaired by a person other than a lay member,
with the approval of the regulatory committee, arrange for the exercise of any function, other than the function described in section 8(5)(a)(ii), by an individual (which may be a member of staff of the regulator).
On the request of any person for a copy of the minutes of a meeting of the regulatory committee of a category 1 regulator, the committee must, if the request is reasonable, give the person a copy of those minutes within the period of 28 days beginning with the day of the request.
Where a request for a copy of minutes is made under subsection (4), the regulatory committee—
may withhold information contained in the minutes, and
if it does so, must inform the person requesting a copy of the minutes of its reasons for doing so.
