Agenda item 3 is consideration of the motions on the subordinate legislation on which we have taken evidence under agenda item 2. Cabinet secretary, do you have any remarks on the Scottish statutory instruments before we come to the motions?

[Inaudible.]—thoroughly, and I am happy to answer any questions if there are any, but I have nothing more to say.

Motions moved,

That the COVID-19 Committee recommends that the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/49) be approved.

That the COVID-19 Committee recommends that the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions and Requirements) (Local Levels) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 15) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/54) be approved.—[Jeane Freeman.]

Motions agreed to.

The committee will publish in due course a report to Parliament setting out our decision on the statutory instruments that have been considered in this meeting.

That concludes our consideration of agenda item 3 and our time with the cabinet secretary. I reiterate our thanks to all our witnesses for their attendance.

That also concludes our business for this meeting. The next committee meeting will take place on Thursday 18 February. The clerks will update members in due course on the arrangements for it.
