Executive Response


Sewerage Nuisance (Code of Practice) (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/155)

The Convener:

Agenda item 3 is consideration of an Executive response. As members may recall, we were not satisfied with the explanation about the breach of the 21-day rule for the order so we asked for further information, which we have now received. The response mentions a combination of complex technical issues and the need for a second consultation. Are members now assured that there were good reasons for breaking the 21-day rule?

Convener, so many puns and references could be made about the order that I feel inclined not to bother.

We will simply report that we have received the explanation that we sought.
