Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 15 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

We agreed at the start of the meeting to take the next item in private. We have no more public business today. I thank everyone for joining us.

11:22 Meeting continued in private until 11:33.  

Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Non-Domestic Rates (Coronavirus) (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 15 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

Thank you very much, minister, and thank you for highlighting the parallel development and your intention to introduce legislation in that regard.

We now move to questions, and I will begin. What is the main driver for the bill? Is it the protection of the public finances, or is it the management of the volume of appeals relating to coronavirus?

Subordinate Legislation

Item 3 is to take evidence on the Non-Domestic Rates (Valuation Roll)—I am sorry. That is not the right agenda item. I am glad to see that Graeme Dey has managed to join us.

The committee will publish its report on the draft regulations after the meeting. I will now suspend the meeting to allow a changeover of supporting officials before we move to agenda item 5.

11:15 Meeting suspended.

Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 15 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

Thank you, minister, for laying out the purpose of the draft amendment regulations before us. Members have no questions for the minister, so I thank him and his officials for their evidence.

Item 6 is consideration of the motion on the instrument. I invite the minister to move motion S6M-02977.

Motion moved,

That the Local Government, Housing and Planning Committee recommends that the Local Authority (Capital Finance and Accounting) (Scotland) (Coronavirus) Amendment Regulations 2022 be approved.—[Tom Arthur]

Motion agreed to.

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 9 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

I have a number of questions, one of which Karen Adam has just asked. I appreciate the cabinet secretary’s response.

This morning, we will consider a motion to annul the instrument. I would love to understand what the impact of that would be on the area in question.

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 9 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

Without that protection, what could we see happening in the area?

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 9 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

What would be the long-term impact of having no protection for the next two years? I know that that might be a hypothetical question, but I am concerned about the possibility of having no protection in place.

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 9 March 2022

Ariane Burgess

Thank you. I have a few other questions.

The evidence that we received last week from Mike Heath on the need to allow the stocks to recover and to mitigate unintended bycatch and discards was compelling. What will the cabinet secretary do to address those issues through the future catching policy?
