Subordinate Legislation

Road Works (Maintenance) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2012 (SSI 2012/286)

Item 3 is subordinate legislation. I refer members to paper 2. The regulations will enable emergency road improvements to be carried out following inspection by a roads authority. Currently, legislation limits the grounds on which an inspection may be carried out. The regulations will remove those limitations.

We are invited to consider whether we want to raise issues in relation to the regulations when we report on them to Parliament. No motion to annul has been lodged. Does the committee agree to make no recommendation in relation to the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you. As we agreed, we will take the remainder of today’s business in private.

11:04 Meeting continued in private until 11:12.
