If your petition is seeking emergency action or an urgent policy change, we would advise you to contact one of your 8 MSPs or the Scottish Government directly. Please be aware that the public petitions process is a thorough and often lengthy process and is not designed to respond to emergencies.

Closed petition PE1935: Create an Independent Committee to judge whether Scottish Ministers have broken the Ministerial Code
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to create a Committee outside the Parliament to judge whether Ministers have broken the Ministerial Code.
Previous action taken
I have contacted the Scottish Government and received no response.
Background information
There should be a truly independent committee made up of non-MSPs to judge whether Ministers have broken the Ministerial Code. As MSPs are affiliated with a party, I believe they could vote in favour of a Minister and non-MSPs would not present this challenge.
