Children's Hearings (Legal Representation) (Scotland) Amendment Rules 2002<br />(SSI 2002/30)
Members will be surprised to hear that this Scottish statutory instrument was introduced one day and revoked the next. Another instrument will come to us. That situation is probably symptomatic of the problems that we have experienced. I suggest that we do not wish to make any comment—in fact, we cannot make any comment on an instrument that has been revoked.
That is in spite of the minister's letter telling us that it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Yes, but we will get another instrument. Members will be equally surprised to learn that there was a mistake in the instrument's drafting, which is why it has been revoked. We will receive another SSI on the subject in a short time.
There will be another one along in a minute.
Like a bus. At that point we will hear from the relevant people again—Mr Boyd McAdam and Linda Sneddon. Does the committee agree to my suggestion?
