Subordinate Legislation
Agenda item 4 is subordinate legislation.
I refer members to the Financial Assistance for Environmental Purposes (Scotland) Order 2000 (SSI 2000/430), which is accompanied as usual by a committee covering note. The instrument, for which we have been designated the lead committee, was laid on 30 November 2000. The order was laid under negative procedure, which means that the Parliament has power to annul the order by resolution within 40 days, excluding recess. The time limit for parliamentary action expires on 26 January 2001. We are therefore required to report on the instrument by 22 January 2001.
The Local Government Committee was designated as secondary committee on the instrument, but has made no recommendations on it.
The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the instrument on 5 December 2000 and agreed to raise points with the Executive. The relevant extract of the Subordinate Legislation Committee's report has been provided to the committee. Are members agreed that the committee has nothing to report on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
The next negative instrument is the Control of Pollution (Registers and Consents for Discharges) (Secretary of State Functions) Amendment Regulations 2000 (SSI 2000/432), which is accompanied by a committee covering note. The instrument was laid on 30 November 2000. The Transport and Environment Committee has been designated the lead committee for consideration of the instrument. An Executive covering note and regulatory impact assessment accompany the regulation. The order was laid under negative procedure. The time limit for action is 26 January 2001 and the committee is required to report by 22 January 2001.
The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the instrument at its 35th meeting on 5 December 2000 and agreed to raise points with the Executive. The relevant extract of the Subordinate Legislation Committee's report is provided. Are members agreed that the committee has nothing to report on the instrument?
