Avian Influenza (H5N1 in Poultry) (Scotland) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/62)
No substantive points have been identified on any of the orders, just a few minor ones.
I am sorry to harp on about amendments to the Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, but I have to be very clear in the advice that I give you. If you lodge a manuscript amendment next week when an amendment could have been lodged this week, it will affect selection. Members should be aware of that, as it might influence the decision that you make today. I am not trying to persuade committee members either way, but I have to make you aware of what could happen.
I am confident that, if this committee decides to lodge a manuscript amendment, the Presiding Officer will select it. I understand what you are saying, Ruth, but if a committee lodges an amendment to a bill there is no real chance of its not being selected.
I tend to agree.
It was very sensible advice though.
Yes, Ruth is quite right to give us that reminder, but I would still prefer to wait and see what information comes from Executive officials.
Is that agreed?
Our next meeting will be next Tuesday. I thought we might be having a week's rest, but we are not.
I am sorry.
Meeting closed at 11:38.
