Instruments not laid <br />before the Parliament

Act of Sederunt (Debt Arrangement and Attachment (Scotland) Act 2002) 2002 <br />(SSI 2002/560)

The act of sederunt is okay.

---

Adoption (Intercountry Aspects) Act 1999 (Commencement No 7) (Scotland) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/562)

The order is okay, but perhaps an informal letter should be sent to the people who drafted it. The reason for that being that such orders must be consumer friendly and its preamble is perhaps not as straightforward as it might be.

---

Act of Sederunt (Fees of Messengers-at-Arms) (No 2) 2002 (SSI 2002/566)

There are some typos and missing footnotes and so on. An informal letter is required.

---

Act of Sederunt (Summary Applications, Statutory Applications and Appeals etc Rules) Amendment (No 5) (Proceeds of Crime Act 2002) 2002 (SSI 2002/563)

There are no points on the act of sederunt.

Before we leave this morning, I should mention that members will have had notice of the number of Subordinate Legislation Committee meetings that there will be. We have 12 meetings to go—or 11, now that we have almost finished this one. About 15 bills are expected. It will be heavy going. Will any committee members have problems with other committees or anything like that?

No, not to my knowledge.

I have one Robin Rigg Offshore Wind Farm (Navigation and Fishing) (Scotland) Bill Committee meeting that may coincide with a Subordinate Legislation Committee meeting.

Let us know if a problem crops up.

I thank members for their attendance.

Meeting closed at 12:10.
