The Committee plans to invite the Commissioner to give further evidence prior to the summer recess. The focus of that session will be to look at what progress has been made in meeting the Commissioner’s strategic objectives.
We had previously indicated the group would report before summer recess 2024, but reaching a consensus between the wide range of stakeholders in this independent group has taken time.
With this in mind, the Committee has asked me to seek an early meeting with you, before Parliament reaches summer recess, to discuss a number of issues of common interest.
The Committee would welcome a response by Friday 3 June in order to enable us to reconsider this petition before summer recess. Yours sincerely Finlay Carson MSP Convener Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

(EU Exit) Regulations 2021
In the immediate run up to and during the pre-election recess period it was agreed with Parliamentary officials that if Scottish Ministers were asked to consent to UK SIs containing devolved provision during this period that initially the UK Government would be asked to delay the SI until after the election.
The instrument was laid on 22 December 2021 and came into force on 1 January 2022, during a recess period. As it was laid less than 28 days before it came into force, it is in breach of section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010, which provides that a Scottish statutory instrument, subject to negative procedure, must be laid before Parliament at least 28 days before it comes into force (not counting recess periods of more than 4 days)..
That the Parliament agrees the following parliamentary recessdates under Rule 2.3.1: 11 to 18 February 2017 (inclusive), 1 to 16 April 2017 (inclusive), 1 July to 3 September 2017 (inclusive), 7 to 22 October 2017 (inclusive) and 23 December 2017 to 7 January 2018 (inclusive).
I think that they will get a bit of a rest when the Parliament goes into recess. I hope that they will make the most of that, because I fear that they will be every bit as busy in session 6.
