Committee reports
Date published:
30 September 2025
The Scottish Government announced in 2022 that no new planning permissions for incineration facilities should be granted, however, plants already with planning permission could still be built.
Part 1 of the Bill also introduced new criminal court procedures, for example permitting pictures of physical evidence to be treated in the same way as the original physical evidence.
The Committee is required by Rule 9.7.9(b) of the Standing Orders to consider and report to the Parliament on new or substantially altered delegated powers after Stage 2.
During the evidence session with the Cabinet Secretary, the Committee noted that there had been discussions with bodies that represented a limited group of interests in respect of some parts of the Bill and that further discussions were to be conducted in relation to many new policy areas being introduced by the Bill.
In addition, local authorities monitor any new developments granted planning permission, which contain disabled persons’ parking, with a view to entering into negotiations to make these spaces enforceable.

The Policy Memorandum stated—
A key priority and objective for the new body is that it will be a model organisation in how it better involves young people and other learners, teachers and practitioners, and wider stakeholders in its decision-making.
The policy note states that the purpose of the instrument is to—
amend the Registration of Social Workers and Social Service Workers in Care Services (Scotland) Regulations 2013 (“the 2013 Regulations”) to reduce the period of time for workers to apply for registration with the Scottish Social Services Council (“SSSC”), with the requirement now being within 3 months of starting a new role.
It further notes that the objective of the instrument is to encourage social workers and social service workers to apply for registration sooner after starting work, which will allow the assessment of an applicant’s fitness to practise at an earlier stage, providing greater public protection.
