Plant Health (Scotland) Amendment Order 2015 (SSI 2015/10)
Tweed Regulations Amendment Order 2015 (SSI 2015/11)
Agenda item 2 is consideration of two pieces of subordinate legislation. The Tweed Regulations Amendment Order 2015 has been drawn to Parliament’s attention because, by coming into force on 31 January, it failed to comply with the 28-day rule. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee found the breach to be unsatisfactory as the order creates one new criminal offence and modifies the application of another. I refer members to the accompanying paper.
If members have no comments, does the committee agree that it wishes to make no further recommendation on either instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
