Subordinate Legislation
Local Government Pension Scheme (Increased Pension Entitlement) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2019 (SSI 2019/438)
Agenda item 3 is consideration of a negative instrument. I refer members to paper 4. The regulations have been laid under the negative procedure, which means that their provisions will come into force unless the Parliament agrees to a motion to annul the instrument. No motions to annul have been laid.
As is set out in the associated paper, the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the regulations on 21 January and drew our attention to a drafting error. The Government has committed to rectifying the error with an amending instrument, and the DPLR Committee has welcomed that course of action.
Members have no comments to make on the instrument. I invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any further recommendations in relation to the regulations.
Members indicated agreement.
10:55 Meeting continued in private until 12:04.
