Subordinate Legislation

Non-Domestic Rates (Enterprise Areas) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (SSI 2012/48)

Agenda item 5 is consideration of a negative instrument.

I point out that I am a member of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.

I am also a member of the Subordinate Legislation Committee.

That is on the record.

Should I mention that I am not a member of the Subordinate Legislation Committee?

The purpose of the regulations is to provide non-domestic rates relief to incentivise businesses operating in a number of key economic sectors to locate on strategic geographical sites.

The Subordinate Legislation Committee, a couple of members of which are with us, had no comments to make on the instrument. As members have no comments and no motion to annul the instrument has been lodged, does the committee agree that it has no recommendation to make on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

12:15 Meeting continued in private until 13:23.
