Under item 7, the committee is invited to consider the powers to make subordinate legislation that are conferred on the Scottish ministers in the Prisons (Interference with Wireless Telegraphy) Bill, which is United Kingdom legislation. A briefing paper has been provided that sets out the relevant aspects of the bill and comments on their effect. The committee is invited to find acceptable the powers in the bill and the procedure to which they are subject.
Due to reorganisation within the Scottish National Party group, this will be the last meeting for Chic Brodie and James Dornan. On behalf of the rest of the committee, I thank them for their contributions. I recognise that they have served their apprenticeships on the Subordinate Legislation Committee and are moving on to pastures new.
