Coronavirus (Scotland) Acts (Saving Provision) Regulations 2022 (SSI 2022/261)

Agenda item 2 is consideration of a negative instrument. Members should refer to paper 3, which sets out the background. The deadline for a motion to annul the regulations is 30 October 2022. Members will see from the paper that no motion to annul has been lodged to date. Do members have any comments on the regulations?

I note the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee’s comment that the timing is slightly out by a few days. Personally, I find that acceptable, but it is never ideal.

Okay. We will have the Deputy First Minister with us on 29 September, so members can raise the matter then if they feel that we need to take evidence on the regulations.

Do members agree that we are content and have no recommendation to make on the regulations?

Members indicated agreement.

The committee’s next meeting will be on Thursday 15 September, when we will continue taking evidence as part of our pre-budget scrutiny.

That concludes the public part of the meeting.
