The committee will recall agreeing in private at its meeting on 23 October to write to the Scottish Government about the combining in one instrument of powers that are subject to different procedures. If committee members have no comments on the response that we have received, do they agree with the Scottish Government's position on combining negative procedure and no procedure within a single instrument? Do we also agree to refer issues relating to consolidation to the consolidation working group?
There does not seem to be a major point of difference.
We will put it to the consolidation working group.
Yes. Crack it to the boundary.
That concludes the formal part of the meeting. The next meeting of the committee will be next Tuesday, 11 December, at 2.15 pm. We will take evidence from members of the previous committee and its adviser on the inquiry into the regulatory framework in Scotland. That will be the first item on next week's agenda, and I suggest that, as today, committee members should come to a pre-meeting briefing to discuss questions.
