Subordinate Legislation
Sea Fish (Prohibited Methods of Fishing) (Firth of Clyde) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/38)
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome members and members of the public to the seventh meeting this year of the Rural Affairs and Environment Committee. I remind everyone to turn off their mobile phones and pagers as they impact on the broadcasting system.
Apologies have been received from Karen Gillon, who is a long-term absentee from the committee. She is on maternity leave, during which Rhoda Grant is substituting for her.
The main item of business to be considered in public is the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Bill at stage 2. The committee will then move into private session to consider the Climate Change (Scotland) Bill.
Agenda item 1 is consideration of the Sea Fish (Prohibited Methods of Fishing) (Firth of Clyde) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/38), which is a negative instrument. The Subordinate Legislation Committee did not raise any points on the instrument, no member has made any comments on it and no motion to annul has been lodged. Do members have any comments on the instrument?
No.
Do we agree not to make any recommendation in relation to SSI 2009/38?
Members indicated agreement.
