Scottish Government Responses

After our meeting on 18 March, we wrote to the Scottish Government about five statutory instruments, and we have now seen the responses.


Mental Health (Cross-border Visits) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (Draft)

Are we satisfied with the Scottish Government's response and shall we draw the draft regulations to the attention of the lead committee and Parliament on that basis?

Members indicated agreement.


Public Contracts and Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/94)

The Convener:

If we are satisfied with the Scottish Government's response on the delay between making and laying the instrument, shall we draw the regulations to the attention of the lead committee and Parliament on that basis?

Members indicated agreement.


Horses (Zootechnical Standards) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/99)

The Convener:

If we are satisfied with the Scottish Government's response in part—that is, in relation to our points (a) to (c)—shall we draw the regulations to the attention of the lead committee and Parliament on that basis?

Members indicated agreement.


Aquaculture and Fisheries (Scotland) Act 2007 (Fixed Penalty Notices) Order 2008 (SSI 2008/101)

The Convener:

Are we content to draw the order to the attention of the lead committee and Parliament on the basis that it contains drafting errors, which have, in fairness, been acknowledged by the Scottish Government? The errors are not such as would affect the operation of the order, but the Government has undertaken to correct them at the next suitable opportunity.

Members indicated agreement.


Sea Fishing (Control Procedures for Herring, Mackerel and Horse Mackerel) (Scotland) Order 2008 (SSI 2008/102)

Are we content to draw the order to the attention of the lead committee and Parliament on the ground that it raises a devolution issue?

Members indicated agreement.
