Education, Children and Young People Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 8 March 2023

Sue Webber

Do members have questions or comments on the draft instrument?

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 8 March 2023

Sue Webber

Enough of that, please, Mr Kerr.

I do not think that we have any comments specifically relating to the statutory instrument, but we desire to write to the relevant minister to ensure that all the opportunities for families to support their young people through their education are maximised. Whether it be school meals or clothing grants, we need to find a way to cut through to make sure that everyone who is eligible can access the opportunities and is aware of them. Do we agree to that approach?

Members indicated agreement.

Our next item of business is consideration of two pieces of subordinate legislation that are subject to the negative procedure.

As members have no comments on the first instrument, does the committee agree that we do not wish to make any recommendations in relation to it?

Members indicated agreement.
