Late Objections (Consideration)

Agenda item 2 is consideration of two late objections to the bill. The committee is required to consider the objections and to decide whether the objectors have shown good reason for not lodging their objections within the specified objection period. If it is agreed that the objectors have shown good reason, the objections will be allowed to proceed to the preliminary consideration stage. Committee members may comment on the two objections that are annexed to paper WAV/S2/05/8/1, but, as that paper states, for data protection purposes

"the Committee should avoid … referring to any personal or sensitive data (e.g. the individuals contact details) about each objector that could lead to that objector being identified."

Do members agree that the objection in annex A should be allowed to proceed to the preliminary consideration stage?

Members indicated agreement.

Do members also agree that the objection in annex B should be allowed to proceed to the preliminary consideration stage?

Members indicated agreement.

The committee agrees that good reasons have been shown for the late lodging of the objections. Therefore, the objections will now proceed to the preliminary consideration stage.
