Subordinate Legislation
Stipendiary Magistrates (Scotland) Order 2010 (SSI 2010/142)
The Convener (Bill Aitken)
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. No apologies have been received and we have a full turnout of the committee. I remind everyone that mobile phones should be switched off.
Today’s meeting will continue into the afternoon. The morning session will finish at about 12.30 pm and we will resume at 2 pm, to continue until about 4 pm.
I welcome non-committee members Margaret Curran and Richard Baker. Ms Curran is here to move an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Licensing (Scotland) Bill to which we shall come presently.
We have one negative statutory instrument to deal with—the Stipendiary Magistrates (Scotland) Order 2010. I draw members’ attention to the order and the cover note, which form paper 1. The Subordinate Legislation Committee drew no matters to the Parliament’s attention in relation to the order. Do members have any comments, or are they content simply to note the order? I take it from the silence that members are content simply to note it.
Members indicated agreement.
