Subordinate Legislation

---

Inshore Fishing (Prohibition of Fishing for Cockles) (Scotland) (No 3) Order 2006<br />(SSI 2006/487)<br />Sea Fishing (Northern Hake Stock) (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/505)

We have two negative instruments to consider. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has made no comments on either of the orders.

I just want to put on the record the fact that this is the third bite that we have had at legislation about the Solway. We hope that, from this point on, we will not keep being faced with bits of subordinate legislation on the same topic.

Are members content with both orders and happy to make no recommendation to Parliament?

Members indicated agreement.

At next week's meeting, we will begin our stage 2 consideration of the Crofting Reform etc Bill. The target will be to consider sections 1 to 10 and schedule 1. Amendments to those sections must be lodged by noon on Friday 10 November.

Meeting closed at 12:42.
