Education<br />(School and Placing Information) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2007 (SSI 2007/487)
Item 3 is consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument that is subject to the negative procedure. Members have a copy of the regulations and a cover note in their papers. No motion to annul has been lodged and the Subordinate Legislation Committee has not drawn the Parliament's attention to the regulations. I invite comments.
I am sorry, but as I am here as a committee substitute, may I ask for clarification? Are the regulations connected with, or will they have an impact on, the recent court judgment on placing requests in relation to children with additional support needs?
I am afraid that I cannot answer that. It would be best if we wrote to the Minister for Schools and Skills to seek clarification. With that proviso, are members content to make no recommendation on the regulations?
That concludes the public part of the meeting. I ask people who are in the public gallery to leave, so that the committee can move into private session. The next meeting of the committee will take place on 21 November.
Meeting continued in private until 11:29.
