Official Controls (Transitional Staging Period) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2021 (SSI 2021/342)
Agenda item 2 concerns provisions under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. I refer members to paper 2. The regulations before us are made using powers under the 2018 act. Under the protocol between the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Government, the committee is required to consider whether the procedure attached to this Scottish statutory instrument is appropriate or should be changed. The regulations are subject to the negative procedure, and Scottish ministers have categorised the instrument as being of low significance, as the amendments contained in it are solely to make relatively minor amendments to the transitional arrangements in place. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered the instrument at its meeting on 26 October and agreed that the negative procedure was appropriate.
Is the committee content that the negative procedure is appropriate for the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
