Subordinate Legislation
Special Waste Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/112)<br />Dairy Produce Quotas (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/118)
In the absence of the minister, we will consider two pieces of subordinate legislation, which are the Special Waste Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/112) and the Dairy Produce Quotas (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/118).
I have received no indications from members of any concerns about the regulations. An extract of the Subordinate Legislation Committee's comments on both sets of regulations has been circulated to members, but I think that the regulations raise no policy concerns for us.
If members have no comments or questions, are we content with the regulations and happy to make no recommendation on them to Parliament?
Members indicated agreement.
Thank you.
I had intended to say this at the end of the meeting, but I will make members aware now that a business motion has been lodged that suggests that stage 3 of the Nature Conservation (Scotland) Bill will take place on Wednesday 5 May. That gives us a little time yet. I understand that the deadline for the submission of stage 3 amendments will be 4.30 pm on Thursday 29 April. Members who want to chase that issue should be aware that, because of the bank holiday weekend, the deadline is the Thursday rather than the Friday. I just want to ensure that nobody gets caught out.
There are no other issues to raise at this point, so I suspend the meeting until the minister arrives.
Meeting suspended.
