Council Tax Reduction and Council Tax (Discounts) (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2023 (SSI 2023/38)
Good morning, and welcome to the sixth meeting in 2023 of the Social Justice and Social Security Committee. We have received apologies from James Dornan. I welcome Evelyn Tweed, who will be his substitute.
Our first item of business is consideration of a negative statutory instrument—the Council Tax Reduction and Council Tax (Discounts) (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2023. The instrument is an annual update and amends three existing principal sets of council tax regulations. It is laid under the negative procedure, which means that its provisions will come into force unless the Parliament agrees to a motion to annul them.
No motion to annul has been lodged. If members have no comments on the instrument, does the committee wish to make no further recommendations in relation to it? Are members content to note it?
Members indicated agreement.
