Subordination Legislation

---

Transport and Works (Scotland) Act 2007 (Applications and Objections Procedure) Rules 2007 (Draft)

Under item 2, we must decide our approach to dealing with a draft statutory instrument. We agreed last week that we would look at pieces of subordinate legislation when we raised concerns during scrutiny of the parent act. On that basis, we agreed that we would look at two pieces of subordinate legislation about which the previous Finance Committee had raised concerns. The instrument that we are considering today is one such piece of subordinate legislation.

Members have a note from the clerks that sets out the previous committee's concerns and explains how the instrument deals with those issues. Do members agree with the suggestion that the committee does no further work on the instrument as it appears that the previous committee's concerns have been addressed?

Members indicated agreement.
