[The Convener opened the meeting at 11:29]
I welcome everybody to the 17th meeting this year of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. We have apologies from Gordon Jackson. There are also a couple of intimations. Next week's meeting is on Monday 27 May. Members will remember that we decided on that because the Parliament will be in Aberdeen next week. The week following the Aberdeen experience, the meeting will be on Wednesday 5 June, as the previous day is the jubilee holiday. I did not know that, but now I do. That is good. The meeting will be at the usual time and in the usual place.
Is next Monday's meeting at the same time and in the same place?
Aye.
Except that it is on a Monday.
That is right. Otherwise, it is the same.
Thank you.
It was going to be an awful lot easier for everyone concerned.
Absolutely.
The committee substitutes have been agreed by Parliament. The names notified to the committee are: Brian Monteith, from the Conservatives; Mike Rumbles, from the Lib-Dems; and Kenny MacAskill from the Scottish National Party. We do not know whether there are Labour nominations or whether it is felt that, since the committee has three Labour members, they will somehow manage to cover the ground. We will leave that up to the Labour members.
