Item 2 on our agenda is consideration of statutory instruments. Today the committee will consider six statutory instruments subject to the negative procedure. The Parliament has the power to annul the orders by resolution within 40 days of each instrument being laid. The committee is required to report to the Parliament by 7 October 2002.
At its meeting of 17 September, the Subordinate Legislation Committee determined that the attention of the Parliament need not be drawn to the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Appointment of Arbiter) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/413) and the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Scottish Secure Tenancy etc) Amendment Order (SSI 2002/415).
At its meeting of 24 September, the Subordinate Legislation Committee considered responses from the Scottish Executive on the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Registered Social Landlords) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/411), the Homeless Persons Interim Accommodation (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (SSI 2002/412), the Homeless Persons Advice and Assistance (Scotland) Regulations 2002 (SSI 2002/414) and the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Registration of Tenant Organisations) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/416).
No motions to annul have been lodged. Members have before them the relevant extract from the 35th report of the Subordinate Legislation Committee for 2002.
Are members agreed that the Social Justice Committee has no recommendation to make on any of the instruments, but draws to the attention of the Parliament the issues that the Subordinate Legislation Committee has raised?
Members indicated agreement.
