Processed Animal Protein (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/276)

Ms MacDonald:

Regulation 8 provides for the suspension or withdrawal of an approval of the use of premises for the production of certain animal proteins for feeding to farmed animals. There should be a right of appeal, as suspension or withdrawal would affect people's livelihoods and businesses.

The regulations also contain a fairly serious drafting defect. They seem to do exactly the opposite of what one thinks they should do, which complicates the issue. We ought to draw the Executive's attention to regulation 12(1).

In regulation 10(3)(d), words are repeated—the Executive should also deal with that.
