Subordinate Legislation

We have in front of us a Scottish statutory instrument: the Local Government Pension Scheme (Pension Sharing on Divorce) (Scotland) Regulations (SSI 2001/23). The instrument was sent to us some time ago and no comments have been received. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has considered the instrument—its report was included in the committee papers—and draw our attention to the regulations.

In its report, the Subordinate Legislation Committee mentioned that the questions raised in respect of the instrument related to matters of drafting rather than policy. Members may wish to note the response from the Scottish Public Pensions Agency, which was included with the papers. No motions to annul the instrument have been lodged.

Does the committee agree to make no recommendation on the Local Government Pension Scheme (Pension Sharing on Divorce) (Scotland) Regulations (SSI 2001/23)?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you.

Meeting continued in public until 16:00.
