 I welcome everyone to the fourth meeting in 2019 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. Gender item 1 is consideration of two SSIs laid under the European Union Withdrawal Act. The committee is considering these instruments in terms of the SSI protocol. We are therefore considering the scrutiny procedure under which they have been laid and the categorisation applied to them by the Scottish Government. The first one is SSI number 2019-6. The purpose of this is to correct deficiencies in licensing legislation arising from the withdrawal of the UK from the EU. It has been laid under the negative procedure and it has been categorised by the Scottish Government as of medium significance. Our advisers indicate that it may be considered as being of low significance because it is clear that there is no significant policy decision for ministers to make. Do members have any comments on that? No. Is the committee content that the appropriate scrutiny procedure has been applied to this instrument? Do the committee wish to recommend that the instrument should be categorised as of low significance? The next one is SSI number 2019-9. The purpose of this one is to provide the necessary technical corrections to regulations relating to aquatic animal health and aquaculture regulations. It has been laid under the negative procedure and it has been categorised by the Scottish Government as of low significance. No issues have been raised by our advisers. Do members have any comments on that? No. Are we content that the appropriate scrutiny procedure has been applied to this instrument? Content. Are we content with the category assigned to this instrument? Content. Gender item 2 is consideration of another instrument laid under the European Union Withdrawal Act. It is the draft public procurement etc. Scotland amendment EU exit regulations. The general purpose of this is to address deficiencies in retained EU law relating to public procurement which arise from withdrawal. The instrument has been laid as an affirmative as required under the 2018 act. It has been categorised by the Scottish Government as of medium significance. Our advisers have indicated that it may be categorised as high on the ground in accordance with the SSI protocol. Some provisions create or amend powers to legislate, including the transfer of some EU legislative powers to Scottish ministers. Any comments from members? Does the committee wish to recommend that the instrument be categorised as of high significance? Yes. Thank you. The next agenda item is consideration of instrument subject to affirmative procedure. The first one is the draft genetically modified organisms, deliberate release etc. Although no points have been raised by our legal advisers on this instrument, Members may wish to note that the instrument was withdrawn and relayed following questions that our legal advisers raised in advance of the instrument appearing on our agenda. The next three instruments all arise from the new powers recently devolved to the Parliament under the Social Security Act Scotland. Our legal advisers have not raised any points on these draft instruments. I will just tell you what they are. They are the funeral expense assistance Scotland regulations and a couple of regulations that deal with earliest assistant best start grants. Is the committee content with these instruments? Yes. Thank you. Gender item 4, and this is the final item of business, is consideration of instruments subject to negative procedure. We have already considered two of these instruments this morning under the SSI protocol. We are now considering the technical aspects of these SSIs to ensure that they fit purpose. Our legal advisers have not raised any points on SSIs 2009, 2006, 2007 and 2009. Is the committee content with these? Yes. I will close the meeting.
