 Ar gyfer sydd i morning不知道. Welcome to the 21st meeting in 2018 on the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee. I remind everyone present at pleased to ensure that their mobile phones are on silent. Gail Ross has submitted her apologies for this meeting. The first item on the agenda is a decision on taking business in private. The committee has asked to consider taking item 3, consideration of the draft report Sam and Farming in Scotland inquiry and any future consideration of the report in private. Are all members agreed? That is agreed. Moving on to agenda item 2, this is subordinate legislation relating to tuberculosis. This is the consideration of one negative instrument. The instrument revokes SSI 218, 164, which the committee considered on the 20th of June 2018. Stakeholders had experienced difficulties with the consultation process for the original order. The Scottish Government then wrote to the committee stating it intended to revoke the order which the committee welcomed. The committee will consider a further SSI amending the policy once this is brought forward and laid by the Scottish Government. I should say to the committee that no motions to annul have been received in relation to this instrument. Does anyone wish to make any recommendations in relation to this instrument? I'm quite happy that the committee does not make any particular report on this, but I think that it would be appropriate to say that from this policy area we would expect over the coming months to receive quite a large number of pieces of secondary legislation connected to the Brexit process. I hope that the minister in particular will take note of what's happened on this, where I think that the process associated with this piece of secondary legislation has been very substantially substandard. I hope that the minister will make sure that the appropriate resources are in place in this policy area to ensure that other instruments that come will come in quite short order and, with little time, we consider are prepared with a greater degree of care so that we can not find ourselves once again in this kind of position. Thank you, sir, for that observation. Is anyone else Jamie? Briefly, convener, and thank you. Two comments. One is just to reiterate what Stuart said, and that's to impress upon ministers that due consultation processes are followed in the future to help the committee. Secondly, if the convener has any knowledge of whether the revocation of the previous SSI will therefore instigate a new consultation process and a future SSI will come into play for the committee to attend to and what the timescale for that might be? I can't give you an indication of timescale, but I know that the Government has gone back out to consultation to seek the views that had not been taken in the first place, so that process is under way. I have no idea of the timescale for it, but I am sure that the cabinet secretary will want to put something before the committee as soon as he has taken proper advice and consulted the parties. Thank you for those observations. Can I just therefore, as a matter of record, ask if the committee has agreed that it does not wish to make any recommendation in relation to this instrument? That's agreed. The committee will now move into private session.
