Instruments Subject <br />to Annulment
Public Contracts and Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/94)
Are we content to ask the Scottish Government for an explanation of the delay between making the regulations on 26 February 2008 and laying them before Parliament on 7 March 2008?
Horses (Zootechnical Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/99)
Are members content to ask the Scottish Government the three questions set out in the summary of recommendations?
Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Act 2007 (Fixed Penalty Notices) Order 2008 (SSI 2008/101)
Are we content to ask the Scottish Government to clarify points (a), (b) and (c) set out in the summary of recommendations, and to ask the Scottish Government what it considers would be the effect of any erroneous references?
Sea Fishing (Control Procedures for Herring, Mackerel and Horse Mackerel) (Scotland) Order 2008 (SSI 2008/102)
I had no idea that there was such a thing as a horse mackerel, and I bet committee members did not either, but there we have it.
Enforcement of Fines (Diligence) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/104)
Some work has been done on the regulations—I will bring in Mairi Gibson.
Having reflected further on the enabling power under which the instrument is made, I now suggest that the questions are not required.
Are members content with the instrument?
Personal Injuries (NHS Charges) (Amounts) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/96)<br />Meat Products (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/97)
Meat (Official Controls Charges) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/98)<br />Rural Development Contracts <br />(Rural Priorities) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/100)

The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.
Members might welcome the fact that SSI 2008/105 amends the National Health Service (Charges for Drugs and Appliances) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/27), in response to points that the committee raised.
National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/106)
Are members content with the regulations and to refer the principal regulations—the National Health Service (Optical Charges and Payments) (Scotland) Regulations 1998 (SI 1998/642)—to the consolidation working group for consideration?
Members will wish to note from the annex to the summary of recommendations that minor points arose on SSI 2008/94, SSI 2008/97, SSI 2008/100, SSI 2008/101, SSI 2008/103 and SSI 2008/111, which will be raised informally with the Scottish Government.
