Subordinate Legislation

Firemen's Pension Scheme (Pension Sharing on Divorce) (Scotland) Order 2001 (SSI 2001/310)

The next agenda item is consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument. The instrument is subject to the negative resolution procedure. It was sent to members on 21 September—I am sure that members remember—and no comments have been received.

The instrument was considered by the Subordinate Legislation Committee and an extract of its report is included in the meeting papers. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considered that the attention of Parliament need not be drawn to the instrument. No motions to annul have been lodged and no other action can be taken on the instrument.

Assuming that no one has any comments on the instrument, I will put the question. Do members agree that the Local Government Committee has no recommendation to make on the Firemen's Pension Scheme (Pension Sharing on Divorce) (Scotland) Order 2001 (SSI 2001/310)?

Members indicated agreement.

Meeting continued in public until 16:42 and in private thereafter until 16:43.
