Sea Fish (Prohibited Methods of Fishing) (Firth of Clyde) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/38)

Are members satisfied with the Scottish Government's explanation for not complying with the dreaded 21-day rule in bringing the order into force?

Members indicated agreement.

Police Grant (Variation) (Scotland) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/41)<br />Police Grant (Revocation and Variation No 2) (Scotland) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/55)

We are looking at the orders together because SSI 2009/55 revokes SSI 2009/41. We are asked to note the error in SSI 2009/41 that has been addressed by its revocation, and the further provision made by SSI 2009/55.

Are we content to report to the lead committee and Parliament that SSI 2009/41 is defectively drafted and, as a result, has been revoked by the Scottish Government, and that SSI 2009/55 is satisfactory?

Members indicated agreement.

Also, on the 21-day rule, we will note the explanation and report accordingly. Are we agreed?

Members indicated agreement.
