 I welcome members to the eighth meeting in 2016 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. I ask members to switch off mobile phones, please, and I note that we have apologies from John Scott. Gender item one is instrument subject to negative procedure. The police pensions of the Salaneous Amendments, Scotland Regulations 2016, SSI 2016-75. The instrument contains a drafting error. Regulation 18 of the instrument substitutes a new regulation 11, retirement pensions for existing regulation 11 of the police pensions, additional voluntary contributions regulations 1991 and 1991 regulations. Regulation 3-4 of the 1991 regulations provides that a pension election under regulation 11-2, made after retirement, may be accepted only if the police authority is satisfied, as mentioned, in regulation 11-2. Prior to its substitution by this instrument, regulation 11-2 made provision for pension elections, but it no longer does so. The Scottish Government acknowledges that regulation 3-4 of the 1991 regulations ought to have been revoked, and it indicates that revocation will be given effect in a future amending instrument. Does the committee agree to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament under the general reporting ground in respect that it contains a minor drafting error? The country of origin of certain meets, Scotland Regulations 2016, SSI 2016-84. The terms batch, batch code, mass caterer and trimmings defined in regulation 2 interpretation are superfluous, because they are not used elsewhere within the short instrument. Does the committee therefore agree to draw the instrument to the Parliament's attention under the general reporting ground in respect that certain terms should have been omitted? Does the committee content to note that the Scottish Government has not taken to amend the provision to remove the definitions at the next convenient legislative opportunity? The act of sederant, fees of sheriff officers 2016, SSI 2016-100. The preamble to the instrument is incorrect and contains words in square brackets that should have been removed prior to laying. The wording is, with such modifications as it thinks, appropriate. The committee may consider the inclusion of superfluous wording gives rise to a risk at the preamble, may be misinterpreted, as it currently indicates that modifications were made to draft rules submitted to the Court of Session by the Scottish Civil Justice Council when it appears that no such modifications were in fact made. The committee may wish to note that the Lord President's private office has requested a correction slip from the statutory instrument registrar to remove these words and the brackets surrounding them from the preamble. Does the committee agree to draw the instrument to the Parliament's attention on the general reporting ground, as the preamble to the instrument contains superfluous words? The act of sederant, fees of messengers at arms 2016, SSI 2016-101, this instrument contains the same error as SSI 2016-100. Does the committee agree to draw the instrument to the Parliament's attention on the general reporting ground? No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the national health service pension scheme Scotland amendment regulations 2016, SSI 2016-97, nor the national health service superannuation scheme miscellaneous amendments Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-98, nor the common agricultural policy, direct payments etc. Scotland amendment regulations 2016, SSI 2016-104, nor the non-domestic rates Scotland order 2016, SSI 2016-113, the non-domestic rates living Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-114, a conservation of salmon Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-115, the salmon carcass tagging Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-116, the tweed regulations salmon carcass tagging order 2016, SSI 2016-117, tweed regulations salmon conservation order 2016, SSI 2016-118, the non-domestic rates enterprise areas Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-119, the non-domestic rates steel sites Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-120, the non-domestic rates telecommunication installation Scotland regulations 2016, SSI 2016-122, nor the concession contract Scotland amendment regulations 2016, SSI 2016-125, the national health service optical charges and payments Scotland amendment regulations 2016, SSI 2016-127, nor the non-domestic rates telecommunications and canals Scotland amendment order 2016, SSI 2016-129, is the committee content with these instruments please? Gender item two is instruments not subject to any parliamentary procedure, no points have been raised by illegal advisers on the act of a journal criminal procedure rules 1996 amendment, miscellaneous 2016, SSI 2016-103, nor the human trafficking and exportation Scotland act 2015 commencement number one in transitory provisions regulations 2016, SSI 2016-128, is the committee content with these please? Gender item three is the health, tobacco, nicotine etc and care Scotland bill, the item is for the committee to consider the delegated powers provisions in the bill as amended at stage two, there is one new power in the bill after stage two, does the committee agree to report that it is content with that new power, delegated power as amended, sorry as added at stage two of the bill? Gender item four is the lobbying Scotland bill and again this item is the committee to consider the delegated powers provisions in the bill as amended at stage two, again there is one new power in the bill, does the committee agree to report that it is content with the new delegated power as amended as added at stage two of the bill? Having separated my added from my amended, I think that completes the agenda and I close the meeting.
