Tobacco Advertising and Promotion (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1
I welcome everyone to the 8th meeting in 2002 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.
That is right.
The bill is unlike the equivalent English bill, which, I understand, had incorrectly drafted delegated powers.
We do not want to be narrow nationalists on this matter.
Far from it.
However, the drafting team did a much better job.
North of the border.
The committee is not concerned about the bill's delegated powers, as the drafting team got them right. We all know that we have a great deal to say on delegated powers if the drafting team does not get them right.
Political points could be made about the bill, but, as far as subordinate legislation is concerned, the bill seems to be clean and pure.
Absolutely. A puff of white smoke for that one.
