Agenda item 3 is consideration of a supplementary legislative consent memorandum on the Deregulation Bill, which is United Kingdom Parliament legislation. Amendments have been made to the bill to include a provision to enable the investigation of tramway accidents in Scotland by the Rail Accident Investigation Branch and, separately, provisions that will enable the Scottish ministers to introduce a regime that would permit motorsports on public roads.
Because the Deregulation Bill alters the executive competence of the Scottish ministers, legislative consent is required. Paper ICI/S4/14/23/3 includes the SLCM and provides details of the procedure for dealing with it. The committee is invited to consider whether to report that it is content with the SLCM and with the Scottish Government’s view that it is in the best interests of the Scottish people and good governance that the relevant provisions of the bill should be considered by the UK Parliament, or to defer consideration of the SLCM to a future meeting and take further evidence on it. Do members have any comments?
