Lord Selkirk of Douglas

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many concordats there are relating to Scotland; what areas they cover; and when they will be published. [HL3697]

Lord Sewel

The UK Government intend proposing a range of concordats. These will guide working relations between the UK Government and the Scottish Executive covering the spectrum of governmental business in which the UK Government and Scottish Executive have shared interests or the actions of one may impact on the other. They will be published once they have been agreed with the Scottish Executive.
