Cross-border Placements (Effect of Deprivation of Liberty Orders) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 [Draft]

Thank you. It is great to be here for what looks like an exciting meeting.

Agenda item 3 is subordinate legislation. The committee took oral evidence on the draft Cross-border Placements (Effect of Deprivation of Liberty Orders) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 at its two most recent meetings. On 18 May, the committee heard from officials from the office of the Children and Young People’s Commissioner, and at its meeting last week, the committee took evidence from the Minister for Children and Young People, Clare Haughey, and Scottish Government officials.

The minister has returned to the committee today to move motion S6M-04165, in her name, which I invite her to do.

Motion moved,

That the Education, Children and Young People Committee recommends that the Cross-border Placements (Effect of Deprivation of Liberty Orders) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 be approved.—[Clare Haughey]

Do members wish to make any comments?

There are no comments for you to respond to, minister. That seems to be straightforward.

Motion agreed to.

The committee must now produce a report on the draft regulations. Is the committee content to delegate to the deputy convener and me the responsibility to agree that report on behalf of the committee?

Members indicated agreement.

I thank the minister and her officials for their attendance.

There will be a short suspension to allow a change of witnesses before we move on to the next agenda item.
