Services of Lawyers and Lawyer’s Practice (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment etc) Regulations 2019 [Draft]
Agenda item 2 is consideration of whether a Scottish statutory instrument made under the powers conferred on devolved authorities in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 has been laid under the appropriate procedure. The instrument is the draft Services of Lawyers and Lawyer’s Practice (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment etc) Regulations 2019. I refer members to paper 3, which is a note by the clerk, and paper 4, which is a private paper. The instrument has been laid under the affirmative procedure and the committee will consider the instrument’s policy content at a future meeting.
Members have no comments. Is the committee agreed that the affirmative procedure is the appropriate procedure for this instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
The Scottish Government has categorised the instrument as being of medium importance. Are members content with that?
Members indicated agreement.
That concludes the public part of the meeting. Our next meeting will be on 5 March 2019, when we will consider a number of items of subordinate legislation.
