Subordinate Legislation
There are two Scottish statutory instruments before us today. The first is the Local Statutory Provisions (Postponement from Repeal) (Scotland) Order 2000 (SSI 2000/425).
The instrument was sent to committee members some time ago and no comments on it have been received. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has considered it; its report is included in the papers. It does not consider that the attention of the Parliament needs be drawn to the instrument. Does the committee agree that it does not wish to make any recommendation on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
The second instrument is the Financial Assistance for Environmental Purposes (Scotland) Order 2000 (SSI 2000/430) and the Transport and the Environment Committee is the lead committee. No comments have been received from this committee.
The instrument has been considered by the Subordinate Legislation Committee; its report is included in the papers. Members will have noted that that committee wrote to the Executive about its obligation to comply with European Union rules on state aid and that, in its report, it drew that matter to the attention of the Parliament and the lead committee. Members have received the Executive's reply by e-mail. It explains the situation. No motions to annul have been lodged and no other action can be taken on the instrument.
Does the committee agree that it does not wish to make any recommendation on this instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
