Instrument Not Laid Before the Parliament
Instrument Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament
Diseases of Animals (Approved Disinfectants) Amendment (Scotland) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/99)
No points arise on the order.
A large number of instruments have been laid before us on which no points of substance have arisen. It is noted—especially by our legal advisers—that there has been an improvement in the quality of the instruments. We ought to send the Executive an informal letter making that statement. Nevertheless, we have had a large number of statutory instruments to deal with. In total, 47 were lodged, although we have considered today only the 27 that needed to be looked at. That increase is probably because we are approaching the Easter recess, so there are still scheduling questions that we might raise with the Executive.
That is a fair point to make. I am disappointed by this Labour-led Executive's boom-and-bust policy on the issue.
I could not possibly agree with that, Stewart.
An informal letter making those two points to the Executive will suffice.
Thank you very much. We will meet again next week.
