Subordinate Legislation


Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/293)

The Convener (Bristow Muldoon):

I welcome everyone to today's meeting of the Local Government and Transport Committee, which will be our last one before the summer recess. The agenda today is not as onerous as some of our previous agendas have been. I am sure that we appreciate that, given that we have two major debates to participate in during the next two weeks, on the Licensing (Scotland) Bill and the Transport (Scotland) Bill—I am sure that members will be using their time productively to prepare for those.

The first agenda item is two pieces of subordinate legislation. The first is the Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/293). No points have been raised on the regulations and there are no motions to annul. Can I take it that we have nothing to report on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

I do not dissent from that decision, except to point out that there does not appear to be much clarity about the financial costs. I am sorry, but I only got the documents this week, as I have just come back from abroad.

Any such points need to be raised in advance, so that we can try to get the appropriate questions asked of the minister or the Executive team.


Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/299)

The Convener:

The second statutory instrument is the Road Traffic (Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/299). Again, there has been no motion to annul, no points have been raised by the Subordinate Legislation Committee and no members of this committee have raised any points. Do we agree that we have nothing to report on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.
