Justice Committee

Meeting date: Tuesday, March 6, 2012


Contents


Subordinate Legislation


Prisons and Young Offenders Institutions (Scotland) Amendment Rules 2012 (SSI 2012/26)


Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003 (Conservation Bodies) Amendment Order 2012 (SSI 2012/30)


Police Grant and Variation (Scotland) Order 2012 (SSI 2012/49)


Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2012 (SSI 2012/50)

We have four instruments to consider under the negative procedure. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has drawn our attention to SSI 2012/26 due to a failure to follow proper drafting practice. Do members have any comments?

I draw it to the committee’s attention that SSI 2012/26 will establish a visiting committee for Low Moss prison. It might end up being abolished before it is constituted.

My point is similar. I want to check whether the visiting committee will be set up with the same composition as the current ones. That is not clear to me from the paper. I wonder whether the clerk can help.

The Convener

I am assured that it will indeed be set up under the same arrangements.

Given that what members have said about the prison visiting committee is on the record, is the committee content to make no recommendation on the instruments?

Members indicated agreement.

13:24 Meeting continued in private until 13:43.
