In relation to the draft Tied Pubs (Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2025 and draft Social Security (Up-rating) (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2025, does the committee wish to note that the original drafts of the instruments were withdrawn and the present versions relaid, following questions that the committee raised with the Scottish Government?

Welcome to the sixth meeting in 2025 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. We have received apologies from our convener, Stuart McMillan, and from Katy Clark. I remind everyone to switch off, or put to silent, mobile phones and other electronic devices.

The first item of business is to decide whether to take items 5 and 6 in private. Is the committee content to take those items in private?

Colleges Regionalisation Inquiry: Post-Inquiry Scrutiny

Meeting date: 5 February 2025

I wonder whether any of the principals of colleges are concerned about anything in particular. Indeed, is there anything that you are happy with? Are you allowed to say?

Careers advice is obviously a big issue. The recent career review recommended that we ensure not just that careers services are fit for purpose, as we would all hope, but that we future proof them to meet the demands of a changing world of work. That is quite a dramatic thing to ask for. What progress has been made on careers advice and guidance in colleges since the career review recommendations were published?
