 Fy ngôr, ydw i'n ddweud o gyllid o gyllid yr ystod y 3 ymddian nhw y Mwg 19 y Llywodraeth Cymru yn 2022. The first item on the agenda is consideration of the coronavirus discretionary compensation for self-isolation Scotland Bill at stage 2. I would like to welcome the Deputy First Minister to the meeting and his supporting officials. James Wilson, head of contact tracing and supporting isolation policy, Marie Penman, solicit of the Scottish Government legal drip director, and Shona White parliamentary council. The question is that sections 1 to 3 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Yes. Thank you. I call amendment 1 in the name of the cabinet secretary, grouped together with amendments 2 and 3. Can I ask the cabinet secretary to move amendment 1? The stage 2 consideration of the bill follows from the constructive debate at stage 1 last week, where there is broad support for the general principles of the bill across Parliament. That debate highlighted a number of key considerations with regard to the bill, specifically the level of scrutiny afforded Parliament in a situation where the made affirmative procedure is used. There were also contributions about the visibility and awareness of the support available for self-isolation and a recognition of the importance of consulting health boards before implementing the measures that are set out in the bill. I have considered the issues that were brought out during stage 1, notably by this committee and the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee, and have lodged three Government amendments for stage 2. As a reminder, the bill's core purpose is to maintain the modification to the Public Health, etc. Scotland Act 2008, made by the Coronavirus Act 2020, that changes the obligation on health boards to pay compensation to those who are isolating, as a result of an infectious disease, to a discretionary power for the purposes of Covid-19 isolation only. There are three amendments proposed by the Government. The first amendment outlines the need for the Government to consult with health boards before making regulations that would either prolong the modifications to the 2008 act or expire the modifications early. This amendment also includes a provision to consult other persons that Scottish ministers consider appropriate to ensure important health stakeholders and others with a relevant interest are also informed. The second amendment is a related amendment that has the effect that the consultation obligation does not apply to regulations prolonging the modifications that are made urgently using the made affirmative procedure. Taken together, those two amendments give effect to the commitment that I made to the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee to examine this following its suggestion that consultation with health boards should be required before regulations altering the expiry date. The third amendment relates to giving reasons for urgency and using the made affirmative procedure. In any circumstance where the modifications to the 2008 act are extended, the Scottish ministers will lay a statement of reasons explaining why we need to keep those modifications in place a bit longer. That is covered by the text of the bill as drafted. This amendment ensures that, should the made affirmative procedure be needed in urgent circumstances, an explanation of that urgency is included in the statement of reasons. The committee will recall that the Law Society of Scotland gave evidence in December calling for the statement of reasons to include such an explanation. That was a point that was highlighted in the committee's recommendations and was also highlighted by various members in the stage 1 debate as an important consideration. I move amendment 1. The question is that amendment 1 be agreed. I call amendment 2, in the name of the cabinet secretary, already debated with amendment 1. Cabinet secretary, can I ask you to move formally? The question is that amendment 2 be agreed. Are we all agreed? I call amendment 3, in the name of the cabinet secretary, already debated with amendment 1. Can I ask cabinet secretary to move formally? The question is that amendment 3 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The question is that section 4 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The question is that sections 5-7 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The question is that the long title be agreed. Are we all agreed? The end stage 2 consideration of the bill. That concludes our consideration of the bill at stage 2. I would like to thank the Deputy First Minister and his supporting officials for their attendance this morning. The committee's next meeting will be on 3 February when we will be taking evidence from the Deputy First Minister and Cabinet secretary for Covid recovery. That concludes the public part of our meeting. The meeting is to allow the witnesses to leave and move the meeting to private.
