 Welcome to the 28th meeting in 2022 of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee. I 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, 6, 7, 8 and 9 in private. Is committee content to take these items in private? Under agenda item number 2, we are considering two instruments subject to the affirmative procedure. No points have been raised on the draft public water supplies at Scotland amendment regulations 2022 and the draft budget of Scotland act 2022 amendment regulations 2023. Is committee content with these instruments? Under agenda item number 3, we are considering one instrument subject to the negative procedure. An issue has been raised on this instrument, which is SSI 2022-307. They assure to tenancies and private residential tenancies, prescribed notices and forums, miscellaneous temporary modifications, Scotland regulations 2022. The instrument temporarily modifies the private residential tenancies prescribed notices and forums at Scotland regulations 2017 and the rent regulation and assures tenancies forums at Scotland regulations 2017. We are making changes to certain forms and notices that a landlord is required to serve on a tenant when seeking to end a tenancy. The modifications are made in response to emergency measures introduced by the cost of living tenant protection Scotland act 2022. In correspondence with the presenting officer, the Scottish Government explained that the 28-day rule cannot be met due to the speed the new legislation is being introduced and amending regulations being required to ensure that forums reflect all eviction grounds on the date the 2022 act comes into force. The correspondence further states that the coming into force date of the act and regulations cannot be moved as those measures are urgently needed to help to protect tenants during the cost of living crisis. Under section 28.2 of the interpretation and legislative reform of Scotland Act 2010, instruments that are subject to the negative procedure must be laid at least 28 days before they come into force, not counting recess periods of more than four days. The instrument breaches the requirement as it was laid on 28 October 2022 and come into force the same day. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground to J for the failure to comply with the laying requirements and, at the same time, is the committee content with the Scottish Government's explanation provided for the breach of the laying requirements? Thank you, convener. I would just wish to put on record that, in this instance, I believe that the way in which the legislation that relates to was rushed through Parliament is clearly a contributing factor to the breach. I am also respecting the decision of Parliament and understanding the need now for the instrument to come into force. I am not content for the reason for the breach, as I believe that it could have been avoided if this legislation had followed the normal parliamentary procedure. Okay. Thanks, Oliver. Anyone else? What's the comment? Okay. Thank you, Oliver. Your comments are noted under on the record. Is the committee content with the other two recommendations? Yes. Okay. Thank you. Under agenda item number four, we're considering two instruments not subject to any parliamentary procedure. Lowpoints have been raised on SSIs 2022, 301 and 305. Is the committee content with the instruments? Yes. Okay. Thank you. With that, I'll move the committee into private.
