"This Research Paper revises and replaces Research Paper 99/2, which was issued in May when the Parliament had just met. It provides a brief history and outline of some of the more significant principles underpinning the new Parliament and its innovative ways of operation. Three strands are examined: the work of the Scottish Constitutional Convention, the policies of the Labour Government, and the work of the Consultative Steering Group. The Paper also looks at how these principles have been accepted by the Parliament and the Executive since the May general election. The way in which they may be promoted or hindered in practice, by highlighting, for illustrative purposes only, some of the factors which have been discussed in recent years. Some of these factors may or may not turn out to be significant in creating the culture and ethos of the Parliament, as it develops. One of these factors may well be the existence of coalition (or 'partnership')government itself. The Parliament is due to debate on Thursday 9 December the Procedures Committee's first report (SP Paper 28), which proposes a new set of standing orders to replace the existing set."
