Subordinate Legislation

Plant Health (Export Certification) (Scotland) Order 2018 (SSI 2018/132)

Item 3 is consideration of subordinate legislation to do with the export of plants. For completeness, I would like to make a declaration before we consider this matter—I am a member of a farming partnership but, to my knowledge, it does not export plants or seeds.

I will follow your lead, convener, and say that I am also a partner in a farming business. Likewise, I do not get involved in exporting seeds in any way.

No motions to annul have been received in relation to this negative instrument. Is the committee agreed that it does not wish to make any recommendation in relation to this instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

That is agreed. That concludes today’s committee business and I now close the meeting.
