Subordinate Legislation


Gender Recognition (Marriage and Civil Partnership Registration) (Scotland) Regulations 2016 (SSI 2016/66)


Gender Recognition (Marriage and Civil Partnership Registration) (Modification) (Scotland) Order 2016 (SSI 2016/67)

The Convener

Agenda item 2 is subordinate legislation. The committee is asked to consider two negative instruments, SSI 2016/66 and SSI 2016/67, both of which relate to gender recognition, marriage and civil partnership. Further information can be found in the policy notes.

The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee determined that it did not need to draw the instruments to the attention of the Parliament. Members should note that no motions to annul have been received in relation to the instruments.

Do members have any comments or questions?

I welcome the orders. Let us not forget that this committee was very much involved in the primary legislation, so I am very happy to send them off.

The Convener

Thank you. Does the committee agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the instruments?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

That concludes the public part of today’s meeting. As this is likely to be our last meeting before dissolution, I thank everyone for their work this session.

10:02 Meeting continued in private until 10:30.
