Meeting of the Parliament (Hybrid) 24 February 2022 [Draft]

24 Feb 2022 · S6 · Meeting of the Parliament
Item of business
Parliamentary Bureau Motion
Swinney, John SNP Perthshire North Watch on SPTV

The amendment regulations extend the date on which the Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Requirements) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 expire, from 28 February 2022 to 24 September 2022. If that expiry date is not changed, the baseline measures will automatically cease on Monday 28 February.

We have started taking steps to remove the baseline measures. The First Minister announced to the Parliament on Tuesday that the Covid certification scheme will come to an end on Monday, and this morning I signed regulations that will make that happen. Murdo Fraser was, quite simply, plain wrong on what he said to the Parliament on that point.

We expect that the other legal requirements will be converted to guidance on 21 March, although, as the First Minister said on Tuesday, that is subject to there being

“no significant adverse developments in the course of the virus”.—[Official Report, 22 February 2022; c 18.]
