Members might recall agreeing to send a letter to the Procedures Committee to seek a change to the 20-day rule. I have had a look at the letter, which Sylvia Jackson gave me last week, and members now have an opportunity to consider it. We agreed to make the request because there was another extreme peak in instruments being laid before the summer recess and we thought that there was potential for similar problems to arise before dissolution. Even if the Parliament adopts the recommendations in our inquiry into the regulatory framework in Scotland, new procedures to address the problem could not be in place before 2008. Are members content with the letter? We need to send it today.
The next meeting of the committee will be on Tuesday 14 November. Dr Jackson will preside.
We can expect a brief meeting, then.
That is right. We will have none of this hour-and-a-half-long business next week.
Meeting closed at 11:58.
