Scottish Local Government Elections Rules 2002 (SSI 2002/457)
We have two negative instruments to consider, the first of which is the Scottish Local Government Elections Rules 2002. The instrument was sent to committee members earlier and we have not received any comments on it. The Subordinate Legislation Committee drew the attention of the lead committee to the instrument on the grounds of four minor drafting defects. In reply to the Subordinate Legislation Committee, the Executive acknowledged the drafting errors and said that it will undertake to issue an amending order in due course. No motions to annul have been lodged, so no other action can be taken on the instrument. I take it that no member has any comment at this stage. Do members agree that the committee has no recommendation to make on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
Scottish Public Services Ombudsman Act 2002 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/469)
The second instrument was also sent out some time ago. In this instance, the Subordinate Legislation Committee did not consider that the lead committee's attention needed to be drawn to the instrument. Again, no motion to annul has been lodged. Do members agree that the committee has no recommendation to make on the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
