Subordinate Legislation
Gender Recognition (Marriage and Civil Partnership Registration) (Modification) (Scotland) Order 2016 (SSI 2016/67)
Agenda item 2 is subordinate legislation. The committee is asked to consider two negative instruments, SSI 2016/66 and SSI 2016/67, both of which relate to gender recognition, marriage and civil partnership. Further information can be found in the policy notes. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee determined that it did not need to draw the instruments to the attention of the Parliament. Members should note that no motions to annul have been received in relation to the instruments. Do members have any comments or questions?

I welcome the orders. Let us not forget that this committee was very much involved in the primary legislation, so I am very happy to send them off.
