Draft Instruments subject <br />to Approval
Waste Batteries (Scotland) <br />Regulations 2009 (Draft)
We have all read about the next item. Are we content, after due and weighty consideration, to draw the regulations to the attention of the lead committee for its interest, in so far as—in regulations 7(4), 9 and 10, in particular—they might be seen to involve matters of policy and legal policy because of how they seek to transpose the batteries directive? That is the best way that we could put it.
Members indicated agreement.
Are we content to bring the regulations to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament on the ground that the form and meaning of regulations 9 and 10 could have been clearer as far as reference to the date of modifications to permit conditions is concerned, but that that lack of clarity is not considered to be such that it is likely to affect the regulations' operation?
Members indicated agreement.
Collectively, we are gently wagging a finger.
