Avian Influenza (H5N1 in Poultry) (Scotland) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/62) No substantive points have been identified on any of the orders, just a few minor ones.Before I close the meeting, the clerk would like to explain something.
The distinction that the petitioner makes might be a moot point, but it is worth pursuing. If we get those responses, we can contact the petitioner again.
The Executive also notes the concern that we expressed about the impact of the order on parts of the industry. That was Euan Robson's point. If the Executive had only said from the start that the order would apply to between two and five vessels, we would not have had to ask the question.
Act of Adjournal (Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment No 3) (Risk Assessment Orders and Orders for Lifelong Restriction) 2006 (SSI 2006/302) No points arise on the act of adjournal. Convener, I believe that we may have had our discussion about denturists in relation to the wrong instrument.
That augurs badly for the future, unless we can get a grip on things somewhere along the line. I recognise the serious point that Phil Gallie makes. It is important to consider details, although we may not agree on outcomes.
Does the Executive having failed to respond to our points within the time available mean that we have lost a week, or will we get an extra week to consider the Executive's response?
The clerks have also circulated some issues that were raised during the debate on the legislative process on 15 March. We will consider mainly the points that are raised in paper PR/S2/06/7/2, which sets out the situation well.
There is no reason why we should not mention it. Again, we come back to the point that the Executive should explain more why particular powers are used.
