A
And
welcome
everyone
to
the
31st
meeting
in
2019
of
the
delegated
powers
and
Law
Reform
Committee
first
item
of
business
is
to
propose
that
we
take
items
5,
6,
&
7
in
private.
Do
we
agree
to
that?
Thank
you.
Agenda
item
2
is
to
consider
an
SSI
laid
under
the
European
Union
withdrawal
at
2018
and
we're
considering,
as
always,
the
categorization
applied
by
the
Scottish
Government,
the
draft
environment,
EU
exit
amendment,
etc.
Scotland
number
2
regulations
2019,
has
been
laid
under
the
affirmative
procedure
and
it's
been
categorized
as
of
medium
significance.
A
The
instrument
amends
a
power
to
legislate
and
the
2018
Act
requires
the
affirmative
procedure
for
such
instruments.
Accordingly,
there's
no
choice
of
scrutiny
procedure
for
the
committee
to
consider.
The
committee
is
still
asked
to
consider
the
appropriate
category
for
the
instrument.
The
purpose
of
the
draft
instrument
is
to
address
certain
deficiencies
in
Scottish
legislation
which
arise
from
the
UK's
withdrawal
from
the
EU
in
the
area
of
waste
from
the
environment.
Our
legal
advisors
indicate
that
this
instrument
would
be
more
appropriately
categorized
as
of
high
significance,
as
it
amends
a
power
to
legislate.
A
So
does
the
committee
wish
to
recommend
that
the
instrument
be
re
categorized
as
of
high
significance?
Okay,
gender
item
3
were
considering
an
instrument
subject
to
the
affirmative
procedure.
No
points
have
been
raised
on
the
draft
planning,
Scotland
Act
2019
ancillary
provision,
regulations
2019.
So
is
the
committee
content
with
this
instrument?
A
Okay,
an
agenda
item
for
is
to
consider
a
response
from
the
Scottish
Government
to
the
committee's
stage
1
report
on
the
referendums
of
Scotland
bill.
In
its
stage
1
report,
the
committee
made
a
series
of
recommendations
in
relation
to
delegated
powers
in
the
bill
and
the
response
from
the
government
indicates
its
intention
to
bring
forward
amendments
at
stage
two
in
relation
to
a
number
of
the
committee's
concerns.
So
does
the
committee
wish
to
welcome
the
Scottish
Government's
response?
