Subordinate Legislation

Prisons and Young Offenders Institutions (Coronavirus) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Rules 2020 (SSI 2020/264)

The next item on our agenda is consideration of a Scottish statutory instrument that is subject to the negative procedure. We have a paper from the clerks that summarises the instrument’s purpose. Do members have any comments to make on the instrument?

No member has indicated that they have any comments to make. That being the case, are members content formally not to make any comments to the Parliament on the instrument?

That is agreed.

That concludes the public part of the meeting. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday 6 October, when we will hear from Claire Baker in relation to her Culpable Homicide (Scotland) Bill and will consider our approach to the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Bill. We will also consider a draft report on the Defamation and Malicious Publication (Scotland) Bill.

We now move into private session for the final item on our agenda.
