Subordinate Legislation

Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/13)

I welcome committee members, witnesses, and members of the press and public. We have received no apologies. I remind everybody to switch off their mobile phones.

Item 1 is on subordinate legislation. We have one instrument to consider under the negative procedure. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has considered the regulations and drawn to our attention additional information that it has received from the Executive; we have an extract from the Subordinate Legislation Committee's comments. As no member wishes to comment on the regulations, is the committee content with them and happy to make no recommendation to the Parliament?

Members indicated agreement.
