Services of Lawyers and Lawyer’s Practice (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment etc) Regulations 2019 [Draft]
I welcome everyone to the seventh meeting in 2019 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee.
The first item of business is consideration of Scottish statutory instruments that have been laid under the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
The Scottish Government has laid the draft Services of Lawyers and Lawyer’s Practice (EU Exit) (Scotland) (Amendment etc) Regulations 2019 under the affirmative procedure and has categorised the instrument as being of medium significance. Our advisers indicate that the scrutiny procedure and categorisation could be appropriate.
Do members have any comments?
Members: No.

In each case, our advisers indicate that the scrutiny procedure and categorisation could be appropriate.

Members indicated agreement.
