The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.

Before I close the meeting, I ask members to please note that this is the final meeting at which the committee will be known as the Subordinate Legislation Committee. Following Parliament’s agreement to the recommendations of the Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee as contained in its second report of 2013, this committee will, from tomorrow, be known as the delegated powers and law reform committee.

Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 11 June.

I understand that the new snappy name will not mean a change in the committee, but it appears to mean the end of the Subordinate Legislation Committee, and I think that we should put it on record that the committee has served Parliament well over the past 14 or so years. I am not quite sure what more one should say, other than to give thanks to the members who have convened the committee, the people who have clerked it and the members who have supported it over those years.

I am sure that the committee would find it easy to agree with that. Is that the case?

Members indicated agreement.

I close this meeting of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.
