Agenda item 2 is the Subordinate Legislation Committee's proposed change to standing order 10.3.2, on the 20-day rule, which would allow the committee some flexibility in reporting to lead committees when a large number of instruments are laid at once, such as before recess, or when there is a particularly difficult or complex instrument to consider. If it were not possible to report to the lead committee within 20 days, the Subordinate Legislation Committee would endeavour to report within a couple of days thereafter. We have a paper that explains the background.
That ends the business in public.
Meeting continued in private until 15:51.
