Instruments Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament

Registration Services (Attestation and Authentication) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/597)

I have no substantive points, but there is a minor point that we can raise informally. Do members have anything else?

No.

---

Registration of Births, Still-births, Deaths and Marriages (Prescription of Forms and Errors) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/598)

The regulations have been deferred until further information is available. There is no parliamentary procedure for the regulations but they are coming back to the committee.

Water Services etc (Scotland) Act 2005 (Commencement No 5) Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/599)

There are no substantive points on the order, but this is the fifth commencement order to be made. Do we want to ask how many more there will be? I know that they cannot all be done together, but this is the fifth one and more will come. Shall we write to ask what the position is with regard to the commencements?

Members indicated agreement.

Fees in the Registers of Scotland Amendment Order 2006 (SSI 2006/600)

No points arise on the order.

Before we go into private, I want to put on record the committee's thanks to Iain Jamieson. This is his last meeting with us. We thank him for all the help that we have received from him, over many months, on the ups and downs of our regulatory framework inquiry report. Thank you.

Meeting continued in private until 11:46.
