Instruments subject to Annulment

Aquatic Animal Health (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/259)

We move on to item 5, which is the substantial part of this afternoon’s meeting.

As members will note, the instrument was not laid at least 28 days before it came into force, as is required by section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010. The Government has provided an explanation for its failure to comply with that requirement. Are members content to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j) and, in so doing, to indicate that the committee is satisfied with the explanation that the Government has provided?

Members indicated agreement.
