Subordinate Legislation
Bluetongue (Scotland) Order 2008<br />(SSI 2008/11)<br />Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/17)
Agenda item 2 is subordinate legislation. People are welcome to stay and listen to it, but they will probably find it extremely boring.
We have two Scottish statutory instruments to consider, both of which are subject to the negative procedure; SSI 2008/11 is on bluetongue and SSI 2008/17 transposes a European Council directive on the conservation of natural habitats and wild flora and fauna. The papers have been circulated to committee members. Surprisingly, no member has raised any concern about the instruments and no motions to annul have been lodged. Would anyone like to comment on either instrument or on the letter from the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment?
No.
Do we therefore agree not to make any recommendations in relation to SSI 2008/11 and SSI 2008/17?
Members indicated agreement.
The public part of the meeting is now closed. I ask for the room to be cleared of everybody except committee members.
Meeting continued in private until 13:14.
