That brings the public part of the meeting to an end. The next meeting of the committee will be on Wednesday 11 November at 10 am.

10:06 Meeting continued in private until 12:23.

Good morning. I open the 29th meeting in 2009 of the Education, Lifelong Learning and Culture Committee and am sorry for the rather late start.

We have received apologies from Kenny Gibson, who is unable to attend the committee this morning, and we have been joined by Andrew Welsh, who is his substitute.

The first item on our agenda is the committee’s continued consideration of a piece of subordinate legislation: the Protection of Children (Scotland) Act 2003 (The Meaning of Disqualified from Working with Children: Corresponding Qualifications in Northern Ireland) (No 2) Order 2009.

There is now an opportunity for members to comment on the Scottish statutory instrument. Does anyone have any comments?

Members: No.

There have been no motions to annul the SSI and the Subordinate Legislation Committee determined that it did not need to draw the attention of the Parliament to the order on any of the grounds that are within its remit. As no member has indicated any wish to comment on the order, does the committee agree that it has no recommendation to make?

Members indicated agreement.
