Town and Country Planning and Electricity Works (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2019 (SSI 2019/80)
Agenda item 4 is consideration of the policy merits of the instrument. As the instrument is laid under the negative procedure, its provisions will come into force unless the Parliament votes for a motion to annul it. No motion to annul has been lodged.
As the policy note explains, the intention of the instrument is not to make policy changes; instead, it will make technical amendments to EU-derived town and country planning and electricity works legislation to address deficiencies arising as a result of EU exit. Do members have any comments?
May I seek clarification that the instrument deals with a no-deal scenario?
Yes.
I invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the instrument. Are we agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
