 I welcome everyone to the 19th meeting of the Local Government and Communities Committee in 2018. Can I remind everyone present to turn off your mobile phone or switch it to silent? As meeting papers are provided in digital formats, tablets may be used by members during the meeting. We have apologies from our convener, Bob Doris. I will move to agenda item 1 on subordinate legislation. The committee will consider negative instruments 141, 142, 153, 154, 155 and 156, as listed on the agenda. Those instruments are laid under the negative procedure, which means that their provisions will come into force unless the Parliament votes on motions to annul them. No motions to annul have been laid. I will go through those in order as set out in the agenda papers. First of all, SSI 141. Do members have any comments? Andy Wightman. Just to note that there has been quite substantial correspondence on this, including with the committee convener, in relation to concerns from the Scottish grant makers. Nobody has indicated that this instrument should not go through as a consequence, but those concerns have been read and noted by the committees. I thank Mr Wightman. We are grateful to the Scottish grant makers for bringing some matters to our attention. The convener did write to the Scottish Public Pensions Agency and we did have a reply. I think that there are a number of points here for noting, but I think that otherwise members are content. Is that agreed? On to SSI 142. Do members have any comments? No comments. I can invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to this instrument. Are we agreed? SSI 153, any comments? No. I can invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to this instrument. Are we agreed? SSI 154, any comments from members? Do we agree that we do not wish to make any recommendations in relation to this instrument? No. We agree. We are getting to this quickly. Do members have any comments? Again, can we invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to this instrument? Are we agreed? SSI 156, any comments? I can invite the committee to agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations in relation to this instrument. Are we all agreed? On that note, we can close the meeting. Thank you for your attendance.
