That the Parliament welcomes and notes&nbsp;the SPCB Supported Bodies Landscape Review Committee's 1st Report, 2025 (Session 6), SPCB Supported Bodies Landscape Review&nbsp;(SP Paper 828); recognises the Committee's conclusions and recommendations, including concerns that expanding the number of&nbsp;SPCB supported bodies risks further&nbsp;fragmenting the current landscape, increasing complexity for service users, and placing additional strain on the SPCB and parliamentary committee resources, and agrees with the Committee&rsquo;s recommendations that:(a) the SPCB supported body landscape should not be expanded to include new advocacy-type SPCB supported bodies;(b) any future proposals for new SPCB supported bodies must satisfy two-tier criteria, as set out in paragraph 150 of the report, comprising both justification and effectiveness tests,&nbsp;and that a parliamentary committee should be given the remit of assessing proposals against these criteria; and(c) a parliamentary committee should be given the specific responsibility for the accountability and scrutiny of SPCB supported bodies for a fixed period as a pilot exercise in Session 7.
