The next item of business is to decide whether to take item 9 in private. Is the committee content to take item 9 in private?
No member has indicated that they are not content or that they wish to speak, so we are agreed.

An issue has been raised on SSI 2021/236. The instrument brings forward the expiry date of three provisions in the Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 that affect the work of the Parole Board for Scotland. It was laid on 10 June 2021 and came into force on 14 June 2021. 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 requires that negative instruments are laid at least 28 days before they come into force, not counting recess periods of more than four days.
Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j) as it has been laid less than 28 days before coming into force and, therefore, has breached the laying requirements under the 2010 act?
Does the committee also wish to note that it is satisfied with the explanation provided for failure to comply with the laying requirements?
As no member has indicated that they are not content or that they wish to speak, we are agreed.

That would be a nice gesture. Bill Bowman was an excellent convener of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee.
As no member has indicated that they are not content with that approach, we are agreed.
