Land Registration etc (Scotland) Bill: After Stage 2

The Convener

Item 5 concerns the delegated powers provisions in the bill after stage 2. Members will have seen the briefing paper and the supplementary delegated powers memorandum that has been provided by the Scottish Government.

Stage 3 is due to take place on Thursday 31 May. The deadline for lodging amendments is 4.30 pm on Friday 25 May. The committee may therefore wish to agree its conclusions today. I invite comments from members.

John Scott (Ayr) (Con)

I welcome the amendments that have been made, many of which recognise the work of this committee. I appreciate that others have pursued matters elsewhere but, nevertheless, we should welcome the fact that the Government has taken note of our comments.

The Convener

Indeed, and I am sure that we could write to the Government to acknowledge that, since we often pursue it.

Are members happy that we should produce a report setting out the committee’s conclusions on the bill, for publication before the deadline for stage 3 amendments on Friday 25 May?

Members indicated agreement.
