The Convener

Given the committee’s consideration of the Legal Writings (Counterparts and Delivery) (Scotland) Bill, members will be pleased to note that this instrument commences on 1 July 2015 the remaining parts of the Legal Writings (Counterparts and Delivery) (Scotland) Act 2015 that are currently not in force.

No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the instrument. Is the committee content with it?

Stewart Stevenson (Banffshire and Buchan Coast) (SNP)

The committee is extremely pleased that the not insubstantial work that we did on the Legal Writings (Counterparts and Delivery) (Scotland) Bill is being delivered, and it is of course content to see the legislation pass into effect.

John Scott

I support what Stewart Stevenson said. The Legal Writings (Counterparts and Delivery) (Scotland) Bill is the first bill that the committee has had passed into legislation, and it is very much to be welcomed that we managed to do that successfully.
