Building (Procedure) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2024 (SSI 2024/376)
The next item on our agenda is consideration of the Building (Procedure) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2024, which is an instrument that is subject to the negative procedure.
As members have no comments on the instrument, I will provide a bit of context. We previously agreed to issue a call for views on the instrument, which, as members will recall, has been introduced to fulfil a commitment in response to Alex Rowley’s proposed member’s bill on environmental standards for domestic buildings. As is noted in our papers, we received 30 responses to our call for views. Members will know that much of the detail on Passivhaus-equivalent standards will be confirmed after another consultation in the summer.
Does the committee agree that we do not wish to make any recommendations in relation to the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
We previously agreed to take the next items in private, so I close the public part of the meeting.
11:28 Meeting continued in private until 11:56.
