Subordinate Legislation


Green Gas Support Scheme Regulations 2021 (SI 2021/1335)

The Convener

The next item of business is consideration of a type 1 consent notification relating to a proposed United Kingdom statutory instrument to amend the Green Gas Support Scheme Regulations 2021.

On 1 March, the Minister for Zero Carbon Buildings, Active Travel and Tenants’ Rights notified the committee of the proposed UK SI, whereby the UK Government is seeking the Scottish Government’s consent to legislate in an area of devolved competence. The committee’s role is to decide whether it agrees with the Scottish Government’s proposal to consent to the UK Government making the regulations within devolved competence and in the manner that the UK Government has indicated to the Scottish Government.

If members are content for consent to be given, the committee will write to the Scottish Government accordingly. In writing to the Scottish Government, we have the option to pose questions or to ask to be kept up to date on relevant developments.

If the committee is not content with the proposal, we may make one of the two recommendations that are outlined in the clerk’s note, which I do not propose to go through at the moment. Do members have any views on the proposal, or are members content with it?

As no one has indicated that they have any views, I will move to the substantive question. Is the committee content that the provision set out in the notification should be made in the proposed UK statutory instrument?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

We will write to the Scottish Government to notify it of that.

That concludes our meeting in public. We will now go into private session.

11:33 Meeting continued in private until 12:05.
