Subordinate Legislation

Licensing and Regulation of Taxis (Appeals in Respect of Taxi Fares) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2011 (SSI 2011/401)

We move now to subordinate legislation and consideration of an order not subject to parliamentary procedure, on the licensing and regulation of taxis. I refer committee members to the cover note on the order. Do members agree to take note of the amendment order?

Members indicated agreement.

In case members have not noticed, the cross-party group on rural policy this evening is on broadband in the south of Scotland and in the Highlands and Islands. Another meeting on transport partnerships may be of interest to committee members.

The finance secretary has been given some extra capital recently, and I think that we should push him in the direction of spending at least some of it on housing. Do committee members agree that I should write to the finance secretary about that?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting closed at 12:55.
