Official Report 111KB pdf
These regulations must be read in conjunction with the explanatory memorandum that was provided by the Executive—the first item on the supplementary agenda. As the clerk, Alasdair Rankin, points out, the matter has been flagged up on page 3 of the legal briefing. Mr Brodie noted a problem with the drafting of the preamble, as mentioned in point 11 of the briefing—I have to say that I did not. Does the committee think that we should draw that to the Executive's attention?
In a helpful way.
The order breaches the 21-day rule, but I think that we understand why, in these circumstances, the rule has been breached. In future, we would expect to be able to comply with the rule.
Is the order approved?
Yes.
