Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions and Savings) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 (SSI 2014/233)
Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2014 (SSI 2014/249)
Good afternoon and welcome to the Local Government and Regeneration Committee’s 26th meeting in 2014, here in the Gilchrist room of the Easterbrook hall in Dumfries. I ask everyone to switch off their mobile phones and any other electronic devices, because they interfere with the broadcasting system. Members will use tablets during the meeting, because we provide papers in digital format.
Before we start, I thank the organisations and individuals who have helped the committee to organise today’s event. In particular, I thank the staff at Dumfries and Galloway Council, Dumfries third sector interface and the Easterbrook hall. I also express my gratitude to the folks from the Usual Place, who gave an enlightening presentation to the committee earlier today, and to all the folks who participated in the event that we have just come from.
At the end of today’s formal meeting, we will have a short, informal question-and-answer session for those who are watching from the public gallery. It will be an opportunity to put questions to the committee about what has been discussed today. I shall say more about that after the formal meeting has finished.
We have received apologies from Alex Rowley MSP and from Anne McTaggart MSP, who are unable to attend.
Under agenda item 1, we will consider two negative Scottish statutory instruments: the Local Government Pension Scheme (Transitional Provisions and Savings) (Scotland) Regulations 2014 (SSI 2014/233) and the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2014 (SSI 2014/249). Members have a paper from the clerks setting out the purpose of the instruments. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instruments and drew to our attention several issues, which are set out in the clerks’ paper.
Do members have any comments on either of the instruments, or on the comments from the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee?
Members: No.
That being the case, are we agreed not to make any recommendations to the Parliament on the instruments?
Members indicated agreement.
