Subordinate Legislation
Water Services Charges (Billing and Collection) (Scotland) Order 2010 (SSI 2010/10)
Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the fourth meeting this year of the Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee. I remind everyone present that all mobile devices should be switched off rather than just being put on silent. I record that we have received apologies from Cathy Peattie, Rob Gibson and Alex Johnstone, and I welcome Alasdair Allan, who is appearing as a committee substitute.
The first item on the agenda is subordinate legislation. SSI 2010/10 is a negative instrument, which provides—in relation to the years 2010-11 and 2011-12—for each local authority in Scotland to be responsible for demanding and recovering the charges that are payable in respect of the water supply and sewerage services that Scottish Water provides to dwellings in that local authority area.
The committee will be aware that no motions to annul the order have been lodged and that we have received a report from the Subordinate Legislation Committee, which made no comments on the order. Does the committee agree that we do not wish to make any recommendations on the order?
Members indicated agreement.
