Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005 (Commencement No 1) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/492)

Do members want to ask the Executive why section 43(4) of the Smoking, Health and Social Care (Scotland) Act 2005—the parent act—has not been cited as an enabling power in the order?

Members indicated agreement.

There are a number of minor errors in the order; we will raise those in an informal letter.

Before we finish the meeting, I remind members that at the next meeting of the committee, on Tuesday 1 November, we will hear evidence on phase 2 of our inquiry from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Food Standards Agency and the Scotch Whisky Association. I am therefore looking for as full a house as possible. The meeting on 8 November will involve taking evidence from committee conveners. We set that up some time ago.

I thank you all for coming and close the meeting.
