 Welcome to the eighth meeting of 2023 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. Before we move to the first item on the agenda, I would like to remind everyone present to switch their mobile phones to silent. The first item of business is to decide whether to take item five in private. Is the committee content to take this item in private? Under agenda item number two, we are considering instruments that are subject to the affirmative procedure. I am going to bring Carol Mawchenan. Thank you. I declare an interest as a registered landlord. Thank you. No points have been raised on the following draft instruments, the legal aid and advice and assistance miscellaneous amendment Scotland number two, regulations 2023, and the cost of living tenant protection Scotland act 2022 incident revision regulations 2023. Is committee content with these instruments? Yes. Under agenda item number three, we are considering instruments subject to the negative procedure. No points have been raised on SSIs 2023, 32, 40, 52 and 53. Is the committee content with these instruments? In relation to SSI 2023-40, that is the first tier tribunal for Scotland local taxation chamber and upper tribunal for Scotland rules of procedure miscellaneous amendment regulations 2023. The committee welcomes that this instrument fulfills a commitment made by the Scottish Government to bring forward an amending instrument before the principal instruments come into force to address issues raised by the committee on SSIs 2022, 364 and 365. The committee also notes that the Scottish Government intends that a cross-refncing error in rule 24 of SSI 2022, 364 will be corrected by correction slip. Under agenda item number four, we are considering instruments not subject to any parliamentary procedure. No points have been raised on SSIs 2023, 49, 51 and 57. Is the committee content with these instruments? Yes, we are. Thank you Emma Thornton. I move the committee into private.
