Subordinate Legislation
Valuation Appeal Committee (Procedure in Civil Penalty Appeals) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (SSI 2020/382)
Non-Domestic Rates (Restriction of Relief and Consequential Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (SSI 2020/391)
The next agenda item is consideration of two Scottish statutory instruments. I refer members to paper 4, which contains further detail. The instruments have been laid under the negative procedure, which means that their provisions will come into force unless Parliament agrees to a motion to annul them. No such motion has been lodged.
The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the Valuation Appeal Committee (Procedure in Civil Penalty Appeals) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 at its meeting on 1 December 2020 and determined that it did not need to draw the attention of Parliament to the instrument on any grounds within its remit. That committee also considered the Non-Domestic Rates (Restriction of Relief and Consequential Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 at its meeting on 8 December 2020 and made a similar determination.
As members have no comments to make on the instruments, I invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to them. No member has objected, so that is agreed.
That concludes the public part of our meeting. We will resume in private session in five minutes.
11:16 Meeting suspended until 11:21 and continued in private thereafter until 11:29.
