Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 (Remuneration) Amendment Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/264)
Item 2 is subordinate legislation. We have one negative instrument before us. The regulations seek to amend the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004 (Remuneration) Regulations 2007 in relation to the remuneration of local authority members. Members have a note from the clerks that sets out the purpose of the regulations. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered the regulations at its meeting yesterday and has drawn our attention to the fact that it considers that the powers exercised in the regulations under section 18(4) of the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 are not appropriate. However, it has also noted that that does not affect the operation of the regulations. Are there any questions or comments about the regulations? Your silence suggests none. That being the case, and given that no motion to annul has been lodged, is it agreed that the committee has no recommendation to make on the regulations?
