Special Restrictions on Adoptions from Nepal (Scotland) Order 2010 (SSI 2010/130)
I am afraid that I am not in a position to comment on that, Mr Gibson. I am guessing that you have no great desire for us to communicate with Miss Lumley about whether she has a view on the order.
In that case, and as it appears that there are no comments from any other member, I will move to the question. Does the committee agree to make no recommendation on the order?
Item 2 is consideration of subordinate legislation. There have been no motions to annul the order, and the Subordinate Legislation Committee has made no recommendation.
Before we make a decision, can I ask whether there has been full consultation with Joanna Lumley, given that the order involves Nepal?
No, it does not involve the Gurkhas so I am sure that she does not.
