Subordinate Legislation

Foods for Specific Groups (Medical Foods) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (2018/392)

Good morning, and welcome to the third meeting in 2019 of the Health and Sport Committee. I ask everyone in the room to ensure that their mobile phones are switched off or to silent mode. It is acceptable to use mobile devices for social media purposes in the room, but please do not take photographs or record proceedings.

The first item on the agenda is consideration of the Foods for Specific Groups (Medical Foods) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2018 (2018/392). The instrument is subject to negative procedure. No motion to annul it has been lodged. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered it at its meeting on 22 January and agreed to draw it to the attention of the Parliament on the general reporting ground, because the preamble to it does not follow proper drafting practice. However, that committee does not think that the inadequacies justify asking for the instrument to be redrafted.

As members have no comments to make on the instrument, does the committee agree to make no recommendation on it?

Members indicated agreement.
