Welcome to the 36th meeting in 2024 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. I remind everyone to switch off, or put to silent, mobile phones and other electronic devices. We have received apologies from Jeremy Balfour MSP and Daniel Johnson MSP.
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?

The instrument corrects a minor error in the table of fees that a planning authority can charge for the submission of various planning applications. Under section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010, instruments subject to the negative procedure must be laid at least 28 days before they come into force, not counting recess periods of more than four days.?The instrument breaches that requirement, as it was laid on Thursday 5 December 2024 and came into force on Wednesday 11 December 2024.
In correspondence with the Presiding Officer, the Scottish Government explained that it considered it necessary to correct the error in the table of planning fees before the instrument setting those fees comes into effect.
Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j), for failure to comply with laying requirements?
Members indicated agreement.
