Subordinate Legislation
The last item of business is subordinate legislation, on which I am, of course, a great expert.
Our options are either to agree that we are content with the statutory instruments or to recommend that they be annulled. If there is a recommendation that an instrument be annulled, we will not be able to discuss it at this meeting but will have to do so later. If anybody has concerns about either of these instruments, discussion will be deferred and a report will be passed to the Executive.
If there are no problems, we have to agree that this committee is content with the instruments and I will ask you to record that you make no recommendation.
Are we content with the Breeding of Dogs (Licensing Records) (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (SSI 1999/176)? The weight of power is on members' shoulders. Is it agreed that the committee has no recommendation on that instrument? If you agree, please say yes.
Yes.
Are there any concerns about the Sale of Dogs (Identification Tag) (Scotland) Regulations 1999 (SSI 1999/177)?
As there are not, is it agreed that the committee has no recommendation on that instrument?
Yes.
We will ask Kenny to explain in fewer than 100 words what we have just agreed to.
Meeting continued in public until 15:15.
