Agenda item 3 is for the committee to take evidence on Scottish statutory instrument 2023/81, the Scottish Local Government Elections Amendment Regulations 2023. We have received information about the instrument in our meeting papers. Do any members wish to comment on the proposed regulations?

Agenda item 4 is consideration of a change to standing orders, and agenda item 5 is consideration of a report that we have received from the Commissioner for Ethical Standards in Public Life in Scotland. Do members agree to take those agenda items in private?

That is excellent. Thank you.
Having Emma join us means that we have lost a committee member, Collette Stevenson, who has moved on to other things. I place on record my thanks and those of the committee to Collette for her work. Are members happy for me to write to Collette to thank her for her time on the committee?
Members indicated agreement.

Excellent. As those who are watching may be aware, the committee is very aware of the treaty arrangements, having discussed those at a number of previous meetings.
As no other members wish to comment, are members content to note the instrument and to agree to make no recommendations?
Members indicated agreement.

That is very helpful.
With regard to my question about the situation as you move forward, can you see any operational risks coming along that you are concerned about? Is there anything on the horizon that is worrying you?
