Subordinate Legislation
Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations (Scotland) Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/410)
Item 2 is subordinate legislation. I draw members' attention to the cover note.
The Subordinate Legislation Committee sought clarification on the choice of procedure from the Scottish Government. Although that committee was satisfied with the response, it reported that, when an instrument affects primary legislation and it is for the Scottish Government to choose which procedure to use, it is also for the Government to explain and justify the use of the negative procedure.
As there are no comments, are members content to note the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
Meeting continued in private until 13:18.
