The Apologies (Scotland) Bill contains one delegated power, set out in section 2(3), which permits the Scottish ministers to modify the list of civil proceedings that are excepted from the effect of the bill. The power enables additions to be made to the list of exceptions, for an exception to be removed, or for the description of the exception to be adjusted. That power is subject to the affirmative procedure.
Does the committee agree to report to the Parliament that it is satisfied with the taking of the power in section 2(3), and that the affirmative procedure is appropriate?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. If there are no further comments, we will continue in private.
