There are a couple of points to highlight on two of the instruments. First, in relation to SSI 2023/55, does the committee wish to note that the Scottish Government will correct an error in the policy note and that the corrected policy note will be published?
Members indicated agreement.
Secondly, does the committee welcome that regulation 22 of SSI 2023/59 corrects an error that the committee identified in SSI 2022/137, the Genetically Modified Food and Feed (Authorisations) (Scotland) Regulations 2022?
Members indicated agreement.
