Agenda item 3 is consideration of nine negative Scottish statutory instruments.
Members will note that the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered three of the instruments—SSI 2016/121, SSI 2016/124 and SSI 2016/126—at its meeting yesterday. That committee had no comments to make in relation to SSI 2016/121 and SSI 2016/124, but it agreed to draw to the Parliament’s attention SSI 2016/126 under the general reporting ground, as it includes a minor drafting error. The committee highlighted that the word “if” is missing from regulation 3(2) of the instrument.
As no members have any comments, is the committee content to agree that it has no recommendations to make to Parliament on all the instruments?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you. Before we move into private as agreed, as this is the last meeting of the Local Government and Regeneration Committee of the session, I would like to thank all past and present members for their hard work and good company over the past five years.
I would also like to thank all the staff who have been involved in facilitating this committee, including the clerking and the Scottish Parliament information centre staff and others, including our official report team, who have been with us throughout almost the whole period. My special thanks go to Steven Iserhoff who is leaving to go back to Canada.
11:14 Meeting continued in private until 11:28.
