 Welcome to the 10th meeting of session 6 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 items 5 and 6 in private. I was a committee content to take these in private. Moving to agenda item number 2, we are considering instruments subject to the affirmative procedure. There was a late change to our agenda due to an SSI laid by the Scottish Government yesterday. It was the draft social security residence requirements Ukraine Scotland regulations 2022. The Department for Work and Pensions intended to make emergency legislation shortly, which will include removing certain residence-based qualifying conditions to allow individuals coming from Ukraine to the UK to access the benefits system immediately upon arrival in the UK. This SSI has been laid to ensure a parity of access in Scotland for Ukraine citizens to benefit for which Scottish ministers have responsibility. The Scottish Government is therefore seeking to have these changes come into force today. While the committee needs sufficient time to properly consider each and every SSI laid before the Parliament to make sure that they are correct as a matter of law, given the obvious immediacy here, I have allowed it to be added to today's agenda. I nevertheless reserve the right for the committee to look at the instrument again next week should any issues subsequently be found. We could then write to the Scottish Government to highlight these. While taking all of that into account, is the committee content with the regulations? Also, under this agenda item, no points have been raised on the following draft instruments. The Agriculture, Horticulture and Development Board Amendment Order 2022, the Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies, Scotland Order 2022, the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, Exclusions and Exceptions at Scotland Amendment Order 2022, and the Relayed Social Security Uprouting at Miscellaneous Amendment Scotland Regulations 2022. Is the committee content with those instruments? Under agenda item number three, we are considering instruments subject to the negative procedure. An issue has been raised on one of those instruments, which is SSI 2022-97, the Police Act 1997, Criminal Records Scotland Amendment Regulations 2022. The instrument is made under the Police Act 1997. It amends the Police Act 1997 Criminal Records Scotland Regulations 2010, which makes provision for enhanced disclosure with suitability information relating to children and adults. The instrument adds an individual seeking to provide accommodation to a Ukrainian national who has left Ukraine in connection with the Russian invasion and any other person aged over 16 also residing on the premises that are to be used for the accommodation, as to further categories of individuals to whom an exempted question may be asked for the purpose of an enhanced criminal record certificate. Under section 282 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform Scotland Act 2010, instruments subject to the negative procedure are required to be laid at least 28 days before they come into force, not counting recess periods of more than four days. In correspondence with the Presiding Officer, the Scottish Government explained that the regulations are required to come into force urgently in order to have a suitable safeguarding system in place for the imminent commencement of the Homes of Ukraine scheme for those fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament under reporting ground G in relation to its failure to lay the instrument in accordance with the laying requirements under the 2010 act? At the same time, is the committee content with the Scottish Government's explanation provided for the breach of the laying requirement. Also, under the agenda item, no points have been raised on SSI 2022-86. Is the committee content with the instrument? Under agenda item 4, instruments are not subject to any parliamentary procedure. No points have been raised on SSIs 2022-82, 92 and 99. Is the committee content with the instruments?
