The next item on the agenda is the consideration of draft affirmative instruments. The only point that arises on the regulations is whether there should be any consultation with the Scottish Committee of the Council on Tribunals about these tribunals. That is a matter for either the Justice 1 Committee or the Justice 2 Committee.
The justices of the peace tribunal would be very specialised—not a day-in, day-out affair. One would like to think that it would meet very rarely, if at all. As the justice aspects of the regulations are right, it is probably taking the matter a bit too far to force the Executive to consult on that tribunal.
I am satisfied with that. If either the Justice 1 Committee or the Justice 2 Committee has another view, it will take the matter further. I think that Gordon Jackson's point also applies to the part-time sheriffs regulations.
Yes. That tribunal merely deals with the next grade up, as it were.
