Members will note that the Minister for Victims and Community Safety first wrote to the committee on 19 March to notify members of the Scottish Government’s proposal to consent to the UK SI, which, at that time, the UK Government intended to lay on 6 May. The minister wrote to us last week, on Thursday 25 April, to advise that the laying date is now due to be between 29 April and 2 May but said that that would not affect the process for the UK Government obtaining the consent of the Scottish ministers.
