Advisory Group on Biometric Data
Section 33(1) of the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner Act 2020 provides that the Commissioner must establish and maintain an Advisory Group. The purpose of the group is to give advice and information to the Commissioner about matters relating to the Commissioner’s functions.
The members of the group are determined by the Commissioner, subject to the approval of the Parliamentary Corporation as to the number of members, the persons to be appointed, and any remuneration or expenses.
The procedure for the group is to be such as the Commissioner determines, and the group will initially meet twice per year. This will be reviewed after the Scottish Biometrics Commissioner has completed one business cycle.
