European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018

Public Procurement etc (Scotland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Amendment Regulations 2019 [Draft]

We move to agenda item 8, which is consideration of amendment regulations made under powers conferred on devolved authorities in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Under the protocol between the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government, the committee is required to consider whether the procedure attached to the Scottish statutory instrument is appropriate or should be changed. The instrument is subject to the affirmative procedure, which reflects the fact that it amends the Public Procurement etc (Scotland) (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, which are also subject to affirmative procedure. Is the committee content that the SSI be subject to affirmative procedure?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you very much. We now move into private session.
