 If you are sitting comfortably then we will begin. Welcome members to the 15th meeting in 2016 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. Apologies have been received from Stuart McMillan and we welcome George Adam who is attending as a substitute for Stuart today. We move now to agenda item 1, which is our instruments subject to negative procedure and we will discuss cases and case in its Scotland number 2 regulations 2016 SSI 2016 number 422. This instrument implements an undertaking provided to the committee by the Scottish Government to urgently revoke the cases and case in its Scotland regulations 2016 SSI 2016 number 383 instrument. The committee reported a number of errors in SSI 2016 383, which appeared to be points of defective drafting. Perhaps most importantly an unintended consequence of those regulations was to make it an offence not to enforce the regulations. The errors were due to an issue with version control. This corrective instrument was laid before the Parliament on 15 December 2016 and comes into force on 21 and 22 December 2016. The instrument does not respect the requirement that at least 28 days should elapse between the laying of an instrument that is subject to the negative procedure and the coming into force of that instrument. As regard its interest in the Scottish Government's decision to proceed in this manner, the committee could find the failure to comply with section 28 to be acceptable in the circumstances. The reasons for doing so are outlined by the chief executive of Food Standards Scotland in his letter to the Presiding Officer of 14 December 2016. Does the committee agree to draw the regulations to the attention of the Parliament under reporting ground G as the instrument fails to comply with the requirements of section 28.2 of the Interpretation Legislative Reform Scotland Act 2010? Does the committee also agree to find the reasons for doing so to be acceptable in the circumstances? No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the following instruments. Evaluation for Rating, Decapitalisation, Rate Scotland Regulations 2016, SSI 2016 number 402 or the Road Traffic Permitted Parking Area and Special Parking Area East Lothian Council, Designation Order 2016, SSI 2016 number 407 or the Parking Attendance Wearing of Uniforms, East Lothian Council Parking Area Regulations 2016, SSI 2016 number 408 or the Road Traffic Parking Adjudicators, East Lothian Council Regulations 2016, SSI 2016 number 409 or the Community Empowerment Miscellaneous Amendments Scotland Regulations 2016, SSI 2016 number 411 or the Regulation of Care, Prescribed Registers Scotland Amendment Order 2016, SSI 2016 number 413. Is the committee content with those instruments? We are. Moving now to agenda item 2, which is instruments not subject to any parliamentary procedure. No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the act of Sederent Sheriff Court Rules Amendment Electronic Authentication 2016, SSI 2016 number 415 or Burial and Cremation Scotland Act 2016, commencement number 1, transitory and transitional provisions. Read that again. Burial and Cremation Scotland Act 2016, commencement number 1, transitory and transitional provisions, regulations 2016, SSI 2016 number 417. Is the committee content with those instruments? Thanks very much. This has been the last meeting of the year. We will return here again for a meeting on 10 January 2017. In the meantime, I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you for all your help this year. Thank you.
