European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018

Immigration, Nationality and Asylum (EU Exit) Regulations 2019

Item 3 is consideration of a proposal by the Scottish Government to consent to the UK Government legislating using the powers under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in relation to a UK statutory instrument. I refer members to paper 3, which is a note by the clerk.

If members have no comments or questions, is the committee content to recommend that the Scottish Parliament give its consent to the UK Parliament to deal with this statutory instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you. The clerks will now produce a short report on this item.

That concludes the public part of today’s meeting. At our next meeting on Tuesday 12 March, we will have stage 2 consideration of the Vulnerable Witnesses (Criminal Evidence) (Scotland) Bill. We now move into private session.
