Firefighters’ Pension Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Order 2025
10:02
Our next item of business is consideration of a negative Scottish statutory instrument. I refer members to paper 1, which sets out the purpose of the instrument.
I note that we have seen a number of such orders for the firefighters’ pension scheme in which the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee have picked up on issues relating to the drafting of the instrument. I very much hope that the Scottish Government is taking note of that.
As members do not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the negative instrument, do we agree that we are content for it to come into force?
Members indicated agreement.
North Atlantic Salmon Conservation and North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission Privileges and Immunities Revocation Regulations 2026
Our next item of business is consideration of a proposal by the Scottish Government to consent to the United Kingdom Government legislating in a devolved area, as set by a proposed UK statutory instrument on the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation and North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission Privileges and Immunities Revocation Regulations 2026. I refer members to paper 2.
The purpose of the regulations is to revoke existing orders for these fisheries bodies that relate to privileges and immunities and to pave the way for replacing them with new orders in order to clarify privileges and immunities and to improve and maintain compliance with international law obligations.
Our role is to decide whether we wish to approve the proposal to consent to the UK SI. Do we agree to do so?
Members indicated agreement.
That completes our consideration of agenda items in public. We move into private session.
