Education and Skills Committee

Meeting date: Wednesday, February 17, 2021


Contents


European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018


Education (Fees and Student Support) (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/28)

The Convener (Clare Adamson)

Good morning, and a warm welcome to the sixth meeting in 2021 of the Education and Skills Committee. I ask everyone to turn their mobile phones and other devices to silent.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of whether an instrument has been laid under the appropriate procedure. Because this Scottish statutory instrument relates to European Union exit legislation, we are asked to agree that it has been laid under the correct procedure before we consider it later today. The Government has allocated the negative procedure to it, and the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee has reported that it considers that to be the appropriate procedure. Further details appear in papers 1 and 2 of the committee papers.

Are we agreed that the instrument has been laid under the appropriate procedure?

I believe that we are agreed.
