Item 6 is to finalise our response to the Subordinate Legislation Committee's inquiry into the regulatory framework in Scotland. The only response that we received from members was Mike Rumbles's proposal that any MSP should be able to amend instruments when they are considered by the lead committee. In the draft letter to Sylvia Jackson, I state that the committee broadly supports the Subordinate Legislation Committee's report, but also that we have discussed amendments to subordinate legislation and that at least one member of the committee believes that members should be able to lodge amendments to instruments.
Members indicated agreement.
That brings us to the final agenda item, which we agreed will be taken in private.
Meeting continued in private until 15:32.
