A cross party delegation of Members of the Scottish Parliament will reflect on the progress made in the first ten years of the Scottish Parliament.
They will touch on some of the Parliaments’ successes, such as its innovative public engagement programmes, and will discuss how the Parliament has reacted to recent political changes such as minority government. Finally, they will look ahead at how devolution and the Scottish Parliament may develop and evolve in the future.
The delegation is visiting Australia under the auspices of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association Scotland Branch.
