Instruments Subject to Annulment


Additional Support for Learning Dispute Resolution (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/144)

The Convener

Do we agree to report that we are content with the explanation that the Scottish Government has provided in relation to regulation 4(b), in so far as section 8A(1) of the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 as referred to in that regulation has not yet been brought into force, and with the Government’s confirmation that section 8A shall be brought into force on the same date as the regulations are?

Members indicated agreement.


Beet Seed (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/148)

The Convener

Are the regulations satisfactory?

Members: Yes.

The Convener

The regulations are an old friend. Members will recall that we reported the original regulations on several grounds and that the lead committee recommended that they be annulled. SSI 2010/148 revokes the original regulations and addresses the matters on which we reported.

Members are invited to note the response from the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment on the original regulations and to note that we can consider the quality control mechanisms to which the letter refers in the context of our annual report on Scottish Government commitments. There is a tick in the box—a success—but, to be fair, we will note those points. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

Are we content with the reason that has been given for the failure of SSI 2010/148 to comply with the 21-day rule in article 10(2) of the Scotland Act 1998 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) (Statutory Instruments) Order 1999 (SI 1999/1096)?

Members indicated agreement.


Guar Gum (Restriction on First Placing on the Market) (Scotland) Revocation Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/153)

Ian McKee

They breached it when they came in and breach it when they go out.

The Convener

The next instrument concerns guar—I hope that I have pronounced that correctly—gum. We have only one question: are we content with the regulations and with the explanation that is provided in the letter to the Presiding Officer about the breach of the 21-day rule?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

I see.


Poultry Compartments (Fees) (Scotland) Order 2010 (SSI 2010/151)


Additional Support Needs Tribunals for Scotland (Practice and Procedure) Amendment Rules 2010 (SSI 2010/152)


Disposal of Land by Local Authorities (Scotland) Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/160)



The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.
