Local Government and Transport Committee, 23 Jan 2007

Meeting date: Tuesday, January 23, 2007

Subordinate Legislation


Public Service Vehicles (Conduct of Drivers, Inspectors, Conductors and Passengers) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/613)

The Convener:

Item 5 is consideration of one item of subordinate legislation. No members have raised points in relation to the instrument, and the Subordinate Legislation Committee has not brought any points to our attention. No motion to annul the instrument has been moved. Can we agree that we have nothing to report on the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

On a point of clarification, convener: David McLetchie was wondering what a conductor is.

Yes; when was the last time you saw a conductor on a bus?

I am sure that you are of a sufficient vintage to recall what a conductor is.

I do. That was before the one-man-operated bus came in and all those poor men were sent into redundancy.

And women.

Members:

Ooh.

The Convener:

Before you all run away, I have one piece of information that you might regard as good news. At the moment, it seems likely that we will not have a committee meeting next week. The Microsoft government leaders forum will be held in the Parliament next Tuesday. We had pencilled in a meeting for Wednesday morning, but it now looks as though we will not have any business to transact at such a meeting.

When will we get to stage 2 of the Prostitution (Public Places) (Scotland) Bill?

We have pencilled it in for 6 February.

Meeting closed at 16:02.
