I welcome members to the 27th meeting in 2012 of the Subordinate Legislation Committee. As usual, I ask everyone to switch off mobile phones.

Agenda item 1 is consideration of instruments subject to affirmative procedure.

The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.

Regarding the Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2012, does the committee welcome the Scottish Government’s withdrawal of the draft regulations as initially laid and their replacement with a revised version that clarifies the penalty attaching to a criminal offence provision in the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.
