Registration Services (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/314)

Agenda item 4 is the consideration of a negative instrument. No concerns have been raised about the instrument and no motion to annul it has been lodged. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the instrument yesterday and draws our attention to it

"on the ground that there has been a failure to follow normal drafting practice in respect of one of the relevant enabling powers".

Members have a copy of the Subordinate Legislation Committee's comments—it is mainly technical stuff. Do we agree that we do not wish to make any recommendation to the Parliament in relation to the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

As previously agreed, we will take agenda item 5 in private.

Meeting continued in private until 12:55.
