Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 2006 (SSI 2006/485)
Agenda item 3 is Executive responses, of which we have a number. On the Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 2006, we asked the Executive why part A of schedule 2 includes the words "select option from list" when the schedule does not contain any relevant list. Members will have seen from the Executive's letter that it is talking about a form of drop-down menu.
Is that what it was talking about?
Yes, although it was not terribly clear. Do we want to report to the lead committee with the further information that has been supplied to us?
Curd Cheese (Restriction on Placing on the Market) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/512)
We asked the Executive what was meant by the word "product" in regulation 5(1). The Executive has replied that it usually means food products. However, the letter also mentions "receptacles"—
—or anything that an inspector may have to inspect.
I am smiling because there is a wonderful word in paragraph 117 of our legal brief. "Altenraitvely" is a great word.
Yes—I am glad it amused you.
It is a great pity that Jamie Stone could not be at the committee to deal with these regulations, given his expertise.
I will gladly give way to him.
You have worked that out already.
A drafting point also arises, but we can raise that in an informal letter.
Assynt - Coigach Area Protection Variation Order 2006 (SSI 2006/488)
I am sure that members will make a few comments on the letter that we have received from the Executive on this order. We asked what complaints had been received and how they were dealt with.
Only two complaints were received, and they were deemed insignificant or frivolous. I do not know whether they were, but the Executive has decided that they were.
We have received the information that we requested; we have also received the results of the consultation. I assume that we will pass that on to the Parliament. Is that okay?
