Planning (Control of Major-Accident Hazards) (Scotland) Regulations 2009(SSI 2009/378)

Under agenda item 4, we must consider two negative instruments.

The Subordinate Legislation Committee has drawn the attention of the committee to SSI 2009/378, as detailed in our papers. Do members agree that they do not wish to make any recommendations on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

Home Energy Assistance Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/392)

We come to SSI 2009/392.

I confess that I did not read the regulations until last night, which means that I have not had the chance to ask anyone about something that occurred to me. I am not disagreeing with what is set out in the regulations, but I wonder why the standard assessment procedure ratings of 55 and 39 were chosen. Could we inquire about the logic behind that?

Of course we can; I think that that would be okay.

Do members agree that they do not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

As previously agreed, we will deal with agenda item 5 in private.

Meeting continued in private until 13:22.
