 We welcome members to the 11th meeting of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. Apologies have been received from Stuart McMillan, David Torrance and Rachel Hamilton. We welcome George Adam, who is attending as a substitute for Stuart McMillan. Agenda item 1 is consideration of instrument subject to affirmative procedure. No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the following instrument. The draft arbitration Corbetration Scotland Act 2010, Transitional Provisions Order 2016. Is the committee content with that instrument? Agenda item 2 is consideration of instruments subject to negative procedure. The first tier tribunal for Scotland Housing and Property Chamber procedure regulations 2016, SSI 2016, number 339. The instrument fails to follow and The instrument fails to follow normal drafting practice, as several provisions are not drafted in gender neutral terms. There are several references to he, his or him. The relevant provisions are in schedule 1, rule 64A. In schedule 2, in form AT1L at part 6B, and in the notes to that form in paragraphs 2, 3B and 7, there are three references and in 9, 2 in the bold type. In the notes to form AT1T, at paragraphs 7, there are three references and at 9, 2 in bold type. In form AT2, in the eighth line of the first paragraph in bold type, in the notes to that form at paragraph 2 in the bold type, and at paragraph 7 there are three references and at paragraph 9B again in the bold type. In form AT3L, in the ninth line of text on page 51 and in part 7 improvements, there are two references. In form AT3T, in the ninth line of text on page 57 and in part 7 improvements, there are two references and in the notes to that form at paragraph 4. In form AT5, in the box in page 74, there are three references and in the notes to form AT6, at paragraphs 4.2, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 and 9, there are five references. In form AT7, in the box on page 86, at note 2, in paragraph 4 on page 87, there are three references and in paragraph 5A on page 88. On account of those failures to draft and gender neutral terms, does the committee agree to draw the regulations to the attention of Parliament on the general reporting grounds? Excellent, many thanks. Does the committee wish to note that the Scottish Government intends to replace the rules in the instrument and the forms in schedule 2 by a means of a further instrument to be laid in 2017? That instrument would be drafted in general terms, so we're happy to note that. At the same time, does the committee agree that the opportunity should have been taken in this instrument to have drafted the provisions in accordance with the normal practice? No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the following instrument. The court fees miscellaneous amendments Scotland Order 2016, SSI 2016 number 332, so is the committee content with that instrument? However, I'm notwithstanding that, does the committee agree that it was an unusual and not wholly satisfactory situation that the business and regulatory impact assessment and the equality impact assessment were not made public available at the time the order was laid before Parliament, although copies were provided to the committee after the order was laid? Do you agree that that's unusual? Does the committee also consider that it's unusual and not wholly satisfactory that the non-confidential public responses to the Scottish Government's consultation and the consultation analysis are unavailable for consideration? We move to item 3, which is consideration of the legislative consent memorandum on the UK Parliament's policing and crime bill. Under the item, the committee is invited to consider the powers to make subordinate legislation conferred on the Scottish ministers in the bill. A briefing paper has been provided that sets out the relevant aspects of the bill and comments on their effect. Does the committee agree to report to the lead committee that it is content with the one delegated power conferred on the Scottish ministers in the bill and the procedure to which that power is subject? I close the meeting. That's it for today. Thank you very much.
