Item 3 is subordinate legislation and the six negative instruments that are detailed on the agenda. The committee will now consider any issues that it wishes to raise in reporting to the Parliament on the instruments. Members should note that no motions to annul have been received and that there have been no representations to the committee on the instruments.

Do members have any comments?

It should be mentioned how much money has been raised through parking charges, particularly by the City of Edinburgh Council, which has generated more than £17 million, and Aberdeen City Council, which has an annual balance of nearly £4.4 million. That is a surplus. It is interesting to note that.

That is duly noted. I am pleased to report that I have not contributed to that pot.

Does the committee agree that it does not wish to make any recommendation in relation to the instruments?

Members indicated agreement.
