The Convener:

The Executive has said that the regulations breach the 21-day rule to keep in step with England, which brings its regulations into force on 1 April 2001. I thought that health was a devolved matter, however, and although I can see some merit in trans-UK harmony, does it really matter whether the two sets of regulations come into force simultaneously, instead of Scotland's abiding by the 21-day rule? Perhaps we should seek an explanation.

Ian Jenkins:

We should do that.
