 We welcome everyone to the third meeting in 2022 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee, which is taking place fully online. Before we move to the first agenda item, as we are again meeting online today, we have been more challenging for members to indicate agreement with the items being discussed. Can I therefore ask you to raise your hand if you are not content with the question being put, or if you wish to speak about an instrument? Under the first item of business, we are considering an instrument that is subject to the made affirmative procedure. No points have been raised on SSI 2022-13. It is the committee content with this instrument. No members indicated that they are not content or that they wish to speak, and so we are agreed. Under our second and final agenda item, we are considering instruments that are subject to the negative procedure. An issue has been raised on one of those instruments, which is SSI 2021-492, the private storage aid scheme, Pygmeat Scotland amendment regulations 2021. SSI amends the principal regulations to add further cuts of Pygmeat for which aid may be granted into the scheme, while also amending the closing date for applications from 28 February to 31 March 2022. Under section 282 of the interpretation and legislative reform Scotland Act 2010, instruments that are subject to the negative procedure are required to be laid at least 28 days before the community force, not counting recess periods of more than four days. In correspondence with the committee, the Scottish Government explained that it considered that it was necessary for the amendments coming to force on 15 January 2022, rather than at a later date, to enable compliance with the 28-day rule to maximise the benefit of the scheme to the industry. That was to avoid delays in applications to the scheme and the consequent backlog of pigs on farms. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament under reporting ground to J in relation to its failure to lay the instrument in accordance with the line requirements under the 2010 act? No member has indicated that they are not content or that they should speak and then so we are agreed. At the same time, is the committee content with the Scottish Government's explanation provided for this breach of the line requirement. No member has indicated that they are not content or that they should speak and then so we are agreed. Finally, no points have been raised on the following instruments. SSIs 2022, 4, 5, 8 and 9. Is the committee content with those instruments? No member has indicated that they are not content or that they should speak and then so we are agreed. The next meeting of the committee will take place on Tuesday 1 February 2022. With that, I close this meeting.
