Welcome to the 12th meeting in 2023 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. We have received apologies from our convener, Stuart McMillan MSP. In his place, I welcome James Dornan MSP.
Before we move to the first item on the agenda, I remind everyone present to switch mobile phones to silent.
The first item of business is a declaration of interests. In accordance with section 3 of the code of conduct, I invite James Dornan MSP to declare any interests that are relevant to the remit of the committee.

The instrument consolidates and revokes existing secondary legislation that provides measures to prevent the spread of tuberculosis in bovine animals, and also introduces new measures to strengthen prevention and increase compliance.
The committee identified an error in article 26(2)(a) of the order, in that the reference to article 2 of the order should instead be to article 22. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on the general reporting ground for this cross-referencing error? Does the committee also wish to note that the Scottish Government intends to correct the error by correction slip?
Members indicated agreement.
