Prohibition of Fishing with Multiple Trawls (Scotland) Order 2017 (SSI 2017/325)

Agenda item 2 is consideration of six negative instruments. Three instruments relate to a decriminalised parking regime in North Lanarkshire; the other three relate to fishing and the revocation or partial revocation of orders and the re-enactment of another. Members should note that no motions to annul have been received in relation to the instruments and that there have been no representations to the committee on the instruments. Do committee members have any comments to make?

I welcome the Road Traffic (Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area) (North Lanarkshire Council) Designation Order 2017, which comes into effect on 24 November, which is two days from now.

I echo what Richard Lyle has said. I welcome that order. The issue goes back to the time when I was a councillor on North Lanarkshire Council—it has been around for a while. I hope that the order will alleviate some of the parking issues. I believe that the council supports the proposals on a cross-party basis.

I note those comments. Does the committee agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to any of the instruments?

Members indicated agreement.

That concludes today’s committee business.
