District Courts and Justices of the Peace (Scotland) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/480)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the meeting. As usual, I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones. I welcome Pauline McNeill, who is joining us to spectate and possibly to contribute to some of this morning's business.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of a piece of subordinate legislation. Members have a copy of the order, with a cover note, from which it can be noted that the Subordinate Legislation Committee has drawn the order to our attention on the ground that an explanation of an issue was sought from and provided by the Scottish Government with which the Subordinate Legislation Committee was satisfied. I see that members have no comments so, although I have reservations about the order—which were dealt with in the Parliament—can I assume that we are content with the order?

Members indicated agreement.
