National Health Service Central Register (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/484)
No points arise on the regulations.
Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 2006 (SSI 2006/485)
It has been suggested that we should ask the Executive to explain the omission of a list in schedule 2 as referred to in items 10 and 12 of that schedule. There is also a minor point to raise informally.
Are the rules a negative instrument? I should have asked that before the committee started.
Yes, they are.
Inshore Fishing (Prohibition of Fishing for Cockles) (Scotland) (No 3) Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/487)
No substantive points arise on the order, but there is a minor point to raise informally.
Sea Fishing (Northern Hake Stock) (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/505)
No points arise on the order.
Curd Cheese (Restriction on Placing on the Market) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/512)
The nice curd cheese regulations breach the 21-day rule, but that was essential given their purpose. There are two issues to raise. First, we ought to ask for an explanation of what is meant by "product" in the first line of regulation 5(1). Secondly, we should ask whether regulation 7(2) is intended to confer on an authorised officer all the powers under section 32 of the Food Safety Act 1990 or only the powers of entry. Is that agreed?
I have no problem with that, but I would like to reflect on what you said earlier. You said that these are the nice curd cheese regulations, but I think that they are about not-nice curd cheese, which is why it is being prohibited.
So it is. Well done, Stewart.
