You have to read out the titles of all those orders, convener. [Laughter.]
No. The question is whether this is the best way to present the orders, as they all seem to be exactly the same. Do members have any comments?
As the provision is straightforward, there is no reason why the Executive could not have amalgamated the orders. There might also have been a cost saving in doing so.
Can we not add that question to the foot of our letter? If the officials are going to be here next week, can we not ask them about this matter? [Interruption.] I have been advised that the officials who will be here next week will be different people altogether.
This is probably the traditional method of presenting such orders. Perhaps it is time that someone suggested a more effective, efficient and less time-consuming way.
First, we will write to the Executive and ask it why the orders have been presented in this way. If we are satisfied with the explanation, that is fair enough.
No points arise on the orders themselves.
As far as we can work out, they seem fine. We will simply include another point about definition in the letter that the clerk sends to the Executive.
