Civil Legal Aid (Scotland) Amendment<br />(No 2) Regulations 2003 (SSI 2003/486)
Papers have been circulated for this item. Members have a note from the clerk on SSI 2003/486, although I think that I am correct in saying that the regulations were not communicated to anyone for comment. All that we have on the regulations is what is before the committee today. As members do not have questions or comments to make, I propose that we note the regulations.
Scottish Legal Aid Board<br />(Employment of Solicitors to Provide Criminal Legal Assistance)<br />Amendment Regulations 2003<br />(SSI 2003/511)
Members also have a note on SSI 2003/511 and the Subordinate Legislation Committee's recommendation on the regulations, in which that committee slightly qualifies its approval of the regulations. We have time to come back to the regulations on 25 November. If members so desire, we can apply for further information from the Executive. Does that suggestion meet with members' approval?
I ask the clerks to prepare a letter forthwith.
