Subordinate Legislation


Parole Board (Scotland) Amendment Rules 2010 (SSI 2010/164)


Victims’ Rights (Prescribed Bodies) (Scotland) Order 2010 (SSI 2010/165)

The Convener (Bill Aitken)

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I remind everyone to switch off mobile phones. We have an apology from Stewart Maxwell, who is engaged elsewhere on parliamentary business. I welcome his committee substitute, Aileen Campbell, to the meeting. I also welcome Sandra White MSP, who is here to speak to an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Bill, to which we shall come presently. Before we do so, however, there are a couple of preliminary items with which we require to deal.

The first substantive item relates to subordinate legislation. There are two negative instruments for consideration today. The first is the Parole Board (Scotland) Amendment Rules 2010. I draw members’ attention to the instrument and the cover note, which is paper 1. The Subordinate Legislation Committee did not draw any matters to the attention of the Parliament in relation to the instrument. If members have no comments, can we agree simply to note the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

The second instrument for consideration is the Victims’ Rights (Prescribed Bodies) (Scotland) Order 2010. I draw members’ attention to the instrument and the cover note, which is paper 2. Again, the Subordinate Legislation Committee did not draw any matters to the attention of the Parliament in relation to the instrument. If members have no comments, are we content to note the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.
