Subordinate Legislation
Shetland Islands Regulated Fishery (Scotland) Variation Order 2004<br />(SSI 2004/1)<br />Ura Firth, Shetland Scallops Several Fishery Order 2004 (SSI 2004/5)
I welcome committee members, witnesses, the press and members of the public. There are no apologies to report. I remind everyone to switch off their mobile phones.
Item 1 is subordinate legislation. We have two instruments to consider under the negative procedure—the Shetland Islands Regulated Fishery (Scotland) Variation Order 2004 (SSI 2004/1) and the Ura Firth, Shetland Scallops Several Fishery Order 2004 (SSI 2004/5). Members may wish to note that the Subordinate Legislation Committee wrote to the Executive noting that neither of the orders includes a reference in the explanatory notes to where the regulatory impact assessment relating to each order can be obtained. The Executive acknowledges that error and has undertaken to issue a correction slip.
Do members have any comments on either of the instruments? If there are none, are members content with the instruments and happy to make no recommendation to the Parliament?
Members indicated agreement.
