Description
Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee
A
The
first
item
of
business
is
to
decide
whether
to
take
item
six
in
private.
Is
the
committee
content
to
take
item
six
in
private
new
members
indicate
that
they're
not
content
or
that
they
wish
to
speak
so
we
are
agreed.
The
next
item
of
business
is
consideration
of
two
instruments
laid
under
the
european
union
withdrawal
act
2018..
A
A
The
instrument
has
been
laid
under
the
negative
procedure
and
has
been
categorized
by
the
scottish
government.
As
of
medium
significance,
is
the
committee
content
of
the
appropriate
scrutiny
procedure
has
been
applied
to
this
instrument,
and
is
the
committee
content
that
the
instrument
has
been
categorized
properly
as
of
medium
signal
november
has
indicated
they
are
not
content,
although
they
wish
to
speak,
and
so
we
are
agreed.
A
A
A
A
New
members
indicate
that
they
are
not
content
or
that
they
wish
to
speak,
and
so
we
have
agreed
under
agenda
item
4.
We
are
considering
instruments
subject
to
the
affirmative
procedure.
An
issue
has
been
raised
on
the
draft
low
emission
zones,
emission
standards,
exemptions
and
enforcement.
Scotland
regulations,
2021
asteroid,
makes
provision
for
the
operation
of
low
emission
zone
schemes.
A
A
cross-referencing
error
has
been
identified
in
regulation
four
of
the
instruments
specifically
regulation.
Four
nine
incorrectly
refers
to
regulation
9
and
not
regulation
7..
It's
nevertheless
clear
from
reading
the
regulations
that
regulation
7
is
the
applicable
regulation
and
not
regulation
9..
While
noting
that
scottish
government
is
undertaken
to
amend
this
error
by
way
of
correction
slip,
does
the
committee
wish
to
draw
the
instrument
to
the
attention
of
parliament
on
the
general
reporting
ground
on
the
basis
that
there
is
a
cross-referencing
error
in
regulation
for
of
the
instrument?
A
A
A
Issues
have
been
raised
on
two
of
these
instruments.
Firstly,
ssi
2021-26,
the
low
emission
zones,
scotland
regulations,
2021,
a
cross-referencing
error
has
been
identified
in
regulation.
Five
of
the
instrument
regulation.
Five
refers
to
local
authority,
making
a
low
emissions
open
scheme
under
section
six
of
the
transport
scotland
act
2019.
A
However,
it
is
section
9
of
the
2019
act
that
gives
the
power
to
local
authorities
to
make
or
modify.
Although
the
missions
are
while
noting
that
the
scottish
government
has
undertaken
tremendous
error
by
way
of
a
correction
slip,
does
the
committee
wish
to
draw
the
attention
the
instrument
to
the
attention
of
parliament
on
the
general
reporting
ground
on
the
basis
that
there
is
a
cross-referencing
error
in
regulation
5
of
the
instrument?
A
Turning
to
the
specific
errors,
the
scottish
government
has
committed
to
correct
a
number
of
these,
namely
a
cross-referencing
error
in
regulation
3b
of
the
instrument
discussed
in
question
2
in
the
related
correspondence
of
paper
4
of
today's
papers,
a
missing
definition
of
residence
scheme,
immigration
rules
and
question
a
cross-referencing
error
in
regulation
11a11b13h
at
question:
five
references
to
eu
national,
which
should
be
to
ec
national
at
question
six
and
a
cross-referencing
error
in
regulation.
Twenty-Five
question
8..
A
No
members
indicate
that
they're
not
content
or
that
they
wish
to
speak.
So
we
are
agreed.
Further
wishes
were
also
identified,
for
the
scottish
government
did
not
consider
corrective
action
was
necessary.
These
can
be
found
under
questions
3,
7
and
10
of
paper
4,
respectively,
question
3
and
7
concern
whether
in
the
absence
of
the
word
and
and
the
list
required
in
a
list
of
requirements,
it
is
sufficiently
clear.
The
requirements
are
cumulative.
A
In
relation
to
question
10,
the
scottish
government
recognized
that
it
may
have
been
clear
for
consistency
if
the
paragraphs
being
inserted
into
a
schedule
adopted
the
same
introductory
wording
as
the
other
paragraphs
in
the
schedule
taking
a
proportionate
approach.
Given
that
the
scottish
government
is
in
any
event
taking
action
to
address
these
issues,
the
committee
invites
the
scottish
government
to
address
these
three
issues.
At
the
same
time,
the
issues
will
be
listed
in
the
committee's
report.
A
Does
the
committee
also
wish
to
draw
this
instrument
to
the
attention
of
the
parliament
on
the
general
reporting
ground
in
respect
to
these
additional
issues
and
calling
the
scottish
government
to
address
them
at
the
same
time
as
making
the
other
corrections
november
has
indicated
that
they're
not
content
or
they
wish
to
speak?
So
we
are
agreed
in
relation
to
ssi
20
2044,
the
forestry
and
land
management,
scotland
act,
2018,
consequential
saving,
consequential
saving
and
traditional
provisions,
regulations
2021.
