The final instrument on which an issue has been raised is SSI 2021/151, which provides for 100 per cent non-domestic rates relief for properties with specified uses in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors, as well as properties that are used for newspaper publishing. It also provides 100 per cent relief for airports and handling service providers, and for lands and heritages that are occupied by Loganair Ltd. It was contingent on the Scottish Government receiving the funding from the UK budget on 3 March. Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j)? At the same time, does the committee wish to note that it is satisfied with the explanation that the Scottish Government has provided in the published correspondence for the failure to comply with the laying requirements? No member has indicated that they are not content or that they wish to speak, so that is agreed.
