Decision on Taking Business in Private

Meeting date: 3 December 2024

Welcome to the 34th 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.

The first item of business is to decide whether to take items 4, 5, 6 and 7 in private. Is the committee content to take those items in private?

Members indicated agreement.

Instruments subject to Negative Procedure

Meeting date: 3 December 2024

The purpose of the instrument is to make provision about who may make applications for burials and what information should be included in those applications. In correspondence with the Scottish Government, which is published alongside the papers for this meeting, the committee queried whether regulation 3(2)(a)(v) is sufficiently clear to the reader. The Scottish Government acknowledged that the drafting could be improved and committed to amending the instrument at the next available opportunity.

The committee, however, considers that it will be clear to the reader that there is an error in the wording, and it is content that the issue is unlikely to lead to genuine misunderstanding by the reader of the instrument.

Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on the general reporting ground in respect of the wording of regulation 3(2)(a)(v)?

Members indicated agreement.
