We have a negative instrument to consider—the Non-Domestic Rates (Levying) (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/71). The instrument rolls forward the non-domestic rates transitional relief scheme from 2001 to 2002 and was sent to members on 12 March. As of today, no comments had been received. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the instrument and an extract of its report was included in members' papers. That committee did not consider that Parliament's attention needed to be drawn to the instrument. No motion to annul has been lodged, so no other action can be taken on the instrument. Does anyone have any comments?
Once again, some beautiful mathematical formulae have been presented to us. Other than that, I have no difficulties with the instrument.
I have not seen anything like it since I did higher maths.
Do members agree that the committee has no recommendation to make on the regulations?
Meeting adjourned.
Meeting continued in public until 16:15 and in private thereafter until 17:36.
