Town and Country Planning and Electricity Works (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019 (SSI 2019/80)
The third item on our agenda is consideration of a request from the Scottish Government, which wishes to consent to the United Kingdom Government legislating using the powers under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 in relation to the Town and Country Planning and Electricity Works (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019.
The committee is invited to consider whether the instrument has been laid under the appropriate procedure—it has been laid under the negative procedure. At its meeting on 26 March, the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instrument and agreed that it was appropriate for the instrument to be considered under the negative procedure.
As members have no comments, is the committee content for the instrument to be considered under the negative procedure?
Members indicated agreement.
