Instruments subject to Negative Procedure
Under agenda item 4, we are considering three instruments. An issue has been raised on the following instrument.
Tuberculosis (Scotland) Order 2023 (SSI 2023/93)
The instrument consolidates and revokes existing secondary legislation that provides measures to prevent the spread of tuberculosis in bovine animals, and also introduces new measures to strengthen prevention and increase compliance.
The committee identified an error in article 26(2)(a) of the order, in that the reference to article 2 of the order should instead be to article 22. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on the general reporting ground for this cross-referencing error? Does the committee also wish to note that the Scottish Government intends to correct the error by correction slip?
Members indicated agreement.
Also under this agenda item, no points have been raised on the following instruments.
National Smart Ticketing Advisory Board (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (SSI 2023/80)
Town and Country Planning (Play Sufficiency Assessment) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (SSI 2023/97)
Is the committee content with the instruments?
