The Scottish Parliament
Official Report
The Official Report is the official written record of proceedings in the Scottish Parliament. It is a substantially verbatim report of what is said during all full meetings of the Parliament and public meetings of parliamentary committees - it notes down what Charles Dickens, a parliamentary reporter himself, described as "the music of the parliamentary bagpipes".
The Parliament meets on Wednesday afternoons and all day on Thursdays: reports are published at 8 am on the following working day, both in print and online. Currently there are 16 committees, which meet both in Edinburgh and in remote locations throughout Scotland: reports are published as soon as possible after committee meetings according to agreed deadlines.
The Official Report team consists of the editor, deputy editor, seven sub-editors and 23 reporters. They are supported by an office manager and an administrative staff of four.
