Dairy Produce Quotas (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2002 <br />(SSI 2002/228)
Item 1 on the agenda relates to three statutory instruments, with which we must deal before we move to the main topic of the meeting. The instruments are subject to the negative procedure. Do members have comments?
On the Registration of Fish Farming and Shellfish Farming Businesses Amendment (No 2) (Scotland) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/220), I invite the committee to join me in expressing displeasure that we have before us again an instrument that in effect just makes minor amendments to a previous badly drafted order. Too many orders have been coming to this committee and, I believe, other committees in a state of drafting disrepair. We should note that.
No other members seem to have comments, but I think that Stewart Stevenson raises a reasonable point. Perhaps we can note it. I take it that there are no other points on the instruments and that members are content to make no recommendation to Parliament.
