Item 4 is the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (Amendment) Bill, which is United Kingdom Parliament legislation. The committee is invited to consider for a second time the powers to make subordinate legislation that the bill confers on the Scottish ministers. Further to last week’s consideration, members will note that the committee has been supplied with a draft report. Members are invited to confirm the committee’s recommendations on the legislative consent memorandum.
Does the committee agree that it expects all substantive provisions for the advertising and street-trading regulations that apply to Scotland to be contained in the first regulations under the affirmative procedure, so that they can be subject to appropriate scrutiny? Will the committee confirm that it accepts that subsequent regulations under the negative procedure might be made if a games venue or the scheduled time for an event needed to be changed at short notice after the first regulations had been made?
If the committee is content with the draft report, it will be submitted to the lead committee—the Health and Sport Committee—for its attention, to inform its scrutiny of the LCM. Are members happy with the report?
That completes the committee’s business. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday 27 September. I thank members for their attendance.
