Subordinate Legislation

Scottish Local Government Elections Amendment (Denmark) Regulations 2024 (SSI 2024/101)

Agenda item 4 is consideration of the Scottish Local Government Elections Amendment (Denmark) Regulations 2024, which is subject to annulment by resolution of the Parliament until 20 May 2024. The committee is invited to consider the instrument and decide what, if any, recommendations it would like to make.

The Delegated Powers and Legislative Reform Committee drew the instrument to this committee’s attention because it was laid fewer than 28 days before coming into force. The explanation for that has been provided by the Government in annex B of the papers. In essence, the instrument adds another country to those in which people can vote or stand for election.

Since members have no questions or comments, I invite the committee to agree that it is content to note the Scottish statutory instrument.

Members indicated agreement.

Excellent. I now move the meeting into private session.
