We come to item 4. After our previous meeting on 29 April, we wrote to the Scottish Government about four Scottish statutory instruments and we have seen the responses.
Rural Development Contracts <br />(Land Managers Options) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/159)
Are members content with the response from the Scottish Government on the regulations? Shall we draw the regulations to the attention of the lead committee on the grounds that are set out in the summary of recommendations?
Land Managers Skills Development Grants (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/162)
Are members content with the Scottish Government's response and, if so, to report to the lead committee and Parliament on that basis?
Designation of Institutions of Higher Education (The Scottish Agricultural College) (Scotland) Order 2008 <br />(SSI 2008/163)
Are members content to draw the order to the attention of the lead committee and Parliament on the grounds set out in the summary of recommendations?
I invite members to note that the Government has given an undertaking to revoke and replace the order and to make separate regulations to revoke the 1990 regulations.
Planning etc (Scotland) Act 2006 (Commencement No 3) Order 2008 <br />(SSI 2008/164)
Are members content to draw the order to the attention of Parliament on the grounds set out in the summary of recommendations?
For Jackie Baillie's information, rather than taking an inordinate time in the committee, I refer, for the sake of the Official Report, to the summary of recommendations, which is a public document. That is an easier way to do it, and a slight change from how things were done in the past.
