I welcome everyone to the ninth meeting of the Local Government and Regeneration Committee in 2011. As usual, I ask everyone to check that they have switched off their mobile phones. We have no apologies and everyone is present, so thanks for that.

Agenda item 1 is two pieces of subordinate legislation that are subject to the negative procedure.

I declare an interest, as my partner is a member of the local government pension scheme and I would be a beneficiary.

I declare an interest that is relevant throughout the meeting, as I am a member of Aberdeen City Council. That appears in my entry in the register of members’ interests.

Similarly, I am a member of Fife Council.

I, too, am a member of Fife Council.

I am a member of North Lanarkshire Council.

I thank members for their declarations.

Members have a note from the clerks setting out the purposes of the instruments and drawing the committee’s attention to the Subordinate Legislation Committee’s report on one of them. As members have no comments and there has been no motion to annul, does the committee agree that it has no recommendations to make on the instruments?

Members indicated agreement.
