Subordinate Legislation


Sea Fish (Prohibited Methods of Fishing) (Firth of Clyde) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/55)<br />Domestic Water and Sewerage Charges (Reduction) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/68)


Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/70)<br />Sea Fishing (Restriction on Days at Sea) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2004<br />(SSI 2004/81)

The Convener:

Agenda item 3 is our subordinate legislation slot for the day. We have four instruments to consider under the negative procedure. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has considered all the instruments and has drawn our attention only to SSI 2004/70. Members have an extract from the Subordinate Legislation Committee's ninth report. Does any member have a comment to make on the instruments? I know that members have read them in great depth, as I have done.

Rob Gibson:

I note that some changes have been made to the LFAS instrument, which I hope are for the good. It is positive to note that the scheme has to be kept under review. I hope that people out there realise that the scheme is under review, as some people are still unhappy about the distribution.

Your comments are more about the background to and awareness of the instrument.

If members are content with the instruments, are they happy to make no recommendation to the Parliament?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener:

On that basis, I will close the meeting. I remind members that our meeting next Wednesday morning has a 10 am start. We have two panels of witnesses who will give evidence on CAP reform. The meeting will give members an opportunity to develop the discussions that we have had this morning.

Meeting closed at 11:48.
