The instrument was laid on 14 December 1999 and is subject to annulment until 9 February 2000. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the instrument on 11 January 2000 and had nothing to report. A briefing has been provided by the Scottish Executive. Are members content with the instrument and the briefing note from the Executive?
