Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning)<br />(West Coast) (No 13) (Scotland) Order 2001 (SSI 2001/425)

The minister is with us to move the motion on the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No 13) (Scotland) Order 2001 (SSI 2001/425). The Subordinate Legislation Committee has nothing to report and no comments have been received from members. Do you wish to make a statement, minister?

I thank you for the kind words that you said at the beginning of the meeting. I owe a lot to the time that I spent on the Health and Community Care Committee—it is the best preparation for this job.

Today's motion is very similar to the ones that I explained two weeks ago so, with your permission, I will not make a statement.

I move,

That the Health and Community Care Committee recommends that the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No 13) (Scotland) Order 2001 be approved.

Motion agreed to.

Colours in Food Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/422)

We now have an instrument subject to the negative procedure, the Colours in Food Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2001. No comments have been received from members, the Subordinate Legislation Committee has no comments to make and no motion to annul has been lodged. It is suggested that the committee does not make any recommendation in relation to the instrument. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
