Condensed Milk and Dried Milk (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008<br />(SSI 2008/12)

Good morning. I welcome to the fifth meeting of the Health and Sport Committee in 2008 members of the committee and the Minister for Public Health, Shona Robison, who is accompanied by Scottish Government officials. Neil Rennick is head of the older people's unit and Shaun Eales is a policy adviser.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument. SSI 2008/12 is a negative instrument that implements directive 2007/61/EC by amending the Condensed Milk and Dried Milk (Scotland) Regulations 2003. The regulations will amend the definitions of partly dehydrated milk and totally dehydrated milk in the principal regulations.

No comments on the regulations have been received from members and no motion to annul has been lodged. The Subordinate Legislation Committee made no comments on the instrument. Do members agree that the committee does not wish to make any recommendation in relation to the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.
