The next item on our agenda concerns subordinate legislation—the Births, Deaths, Marriages and Divorces (Fees) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2000. Members will have seen the draft note that was circulated with the regulations and will note that the Subordinate Legislation Committee raised a point about the gap between the regulations being made and their being laid before the Parliament, from 6 December and 20 December. Given that the regulations do not come into force until 1 April 2001, that is not a problem that I would get excited about. Do members share that view?
My excitement is mounting.
Are we agreed that no further action is required on the instrument?
