Suckler Cow Premium Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (SSI 2000/215)

There appears to be a breach of the 21-day rule on this instrument, although an explanation is given for that. Do members consider the explanation acceptable?

It is probably acceptable, but we should ask whether the Executive has any plans for consolidation, as this is the sixth amendment. Six amendments may not be many by the Executive's standards, but I think that we should ask about it.

That is not as bad as having 19 amendments, as happened with one of the instruments that we considered earlier.

As Trish Godman suggests, we shall ask the Executive about consolidation. That is agreed.
