Subordinate Legislation
Local Government (Exemption from Competition) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2001 (SSI 2001/431)<br />Local Government Act 1988 (Competition) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/446)
We now move on to subordinate legislation. After dealing with this item, which will take only a couple of minutes, we will have a break. The official reporters will then be able to leave.
We have two negative instruments to consider. Their purpose is to postpone further the introduction of compulsory competitive tendering for defined activities, which will be achieved by amending the principal order and regulations to extend the exemption end and introduction dates.
No comments have been received on either of the instruments, which have been considered by the Subordinate Legislation Committee, an extract of whose report is included in the briefing papers. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered that Parliament's attention need not be drawn to the instruments. No motions to annul the instruments have been lodged and no other action can be taken on them. If members have no comments to make, are we agreed that the Local Government Committee has no recommendation to make on the two instruments?
Members indicated agreement.
Meeting adjourned until 16:17 and thereafter continued in private until 16:35.
