Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 (Transitional, Savings and Consequential Provisions) Order 2008 (Draft)
After our meeting on 24 June, the committee wrote to the Scottish Government about one instrument. Members have seen the response and will note that the order has been withdrawn and replaced by one that we will consider later in today's meeting. As we raised questions on the draft order with the Scottish Government, we should still draw the lead committee and Parliament's attention to the Government's response.
As I have just referred to our previous meeting on 24 June, I apologise for not welcoming you all back. I hope that everyone, including all our officials, had a relaxing summer. It might be unusual to insert that at this point in the meeting, but it is only good manners.
