Instruments Subject <br />to Annulment

---

Water and Sewerage Services Undertaking (Lending by the Scottish Ministers) Order 2008 (SSI 2008/44)

Are members content to ask the Scottish Government the question set out in the summary of recommendations?

Members indicated agreement.

Water Environment (Diffuse Pollution) (Scotland) Regulations 2008 (SSI 2008/54)

I point out that a revised question has been issued, which replaces the question as set out in the summary of recommendations. The new question is framed more narrowly.

The regulations are stated as being part of the Scottish Government's programme of measures to enable it to fulfil its requirements as regards Scotland under the water framework directive 2000/60/EC, but the Government has not provided a transposition note, and neither the explanatory note nor the executive note explain how the regulations contribute towards that objective.

Are members content to ask the Scottish Government to provide an explanation, and in particular to explain how the regulations fulfil or contribute to the requirement to specify basic and supplementary measures required for diffuse sources liable to cause pollution set out in article 11.3(h) of the directive, and comply with the requirements of article 10.2(c)?

Members indicated agreement.
