Subordinate Legislation
The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considered SSI 2022/263 at its meeting on 20 September and agreed to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j), for failure to comply with the laying requirements in section 28(2) of the Interpr...

Subordinate Legislation
In submissions to the committee and in the evidence from the previous panel, people have highlighted their belief that there is a conflict of interests for the AIB, given that, as David Menzies’s correspondence states, it is also a “policy advisor to the Scottish Government, ...

You mentioned the consultation. Quite a lot of creditors would be small businesses. Was there any consultation that included the views of the Federation of Small Businesses or other organisations that represent small businesses?
Gillian Martin SNP Committee
21 Mar 2017
Subordinate Legislation
The first panel of witnesses this morning are asking for another full consultation. What are your views on that?

Subordinate Legislation
The court said that some circumstances need flexibility. Have you examples of flexibility around the disclosure scheme for people who have been in the children’s hearings system. What is meant by “flexibility” and how will that be enacted through the order?
Gillian Martin SNP Committee
24 Jan 2018
Subordinate Legislation
Does that mean that, in a situation such as Johann Lamont described—where the offence has been fairly minor but enough for somebody to be put into the children’s hearings system—the sheriff would, in order to help them, judge that the offence will not go into the disclosure in...

So, for seven and a half years, minor offences would be on the certificate, and then would automatically be taken off.
Gillian Martin SNP Committee
24 Jan 2018
Subordinate Legislation
The period would not have to be seven and a half years; the offence could come off disclosure well before that point.
Gillian Martin SNP Committee

Thank you for clarifying that.

The committee can write to the Government on those questions.
The Convener SNP Committee

We will look into that and, if there is not an obvious answer, we will ask for one. Does the committee agree that it does not want to make any recommendations in relation to the instrument? Members indicated agreement.

Our next meeting is on 18 September, when the committee will consider the Scottish Crown Estate Bill at stage 2. I remind members that the final deadline for submission of amendments is today, at 12 noon. As agreed earlier, the committee will now move into private session. I ...

You said that combining the registers would “disrupt the land registration process.” Could you give us a bit more detail on what you mean by that?

John Scott has a short question and, if I have time, I will come to Stewart Stevenson.
The Convener SNP Committee

Stewart Stevenson has a small supplementary.
The Convener SNP Committee
25 Sep 2018

I wonder whether this would be a good question for Ann Stewart, given that she brought it up in the first place.

Megan MacInnes has a point to make on the matter. 10:00

I know that Ann Stewart wants to come back in, but there will be an opportunity for her to make her point later.

Who would like to tackle that first?

Claudia Beamish has some questions around that.
The Convener SNP Committee
25 Sep 2018
Subordinate Legislation
That is a different thing. I think that Claudia Beamish is talking about the identity of the person.
The Convener SNP Committee
25 Sep 2018

Megan MacInnes wants to make a point, and I will then move on to Alex Rowley’s questions.
The Convener SNP Committee
25 Sep 2018
Subordinate Legislation
How do you see that problem being solved?
The Convener SNP Committee
25 Sep 2018
Subordinate Legislation
A number of members want to come in on the back of what you have said. We will take some short supplementary questions before I go to Alex Rowley for his questions.
The Convener SNP Committee
25 Sep 2018
Subordinate Legislation
One person can answer that, then Finlay Carson will ask his supplementary.

We are running out of time. Does somebody want to answer that, with a “Yes, Minister” quote?

Alex Rowley has questions on a different theme.

Who would like to go first? The issue has been covered, to an extent, but further comments are welcome.
The Convener SNP Committee

We are a bit tight for time. Unless anyone has anything else to say on that, we will move on.

Under item 2, the committee will take evidence on the draft Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 (Register of Persons Holding a Controlled Interest in Land) (Scotland) Regulations 2021. We are joined by Jennifer Henderson, who is the keeper of the registers of Scotland. Good morning.

I have some questions about the accessibility of the information. During our evidence session last week, quite a few of the witnesses talked about the importance of the register being user friendly. How will you ensure that the register is user friendly?
The Convener SNP Committee
02 Oct 2018
Subordinate Legislation
Will you provide any guidance for potential users as part of that?
The Convener SNP Committee
02 Oct 2018
Subordinate Legislation
Exactly. There was some concern that the system has to be user friendly for the ordinary person. We do not want a situation in which only lawyers can navigate these registers.
The Convener SNP Committee
02 Oct 2018
Subordinate Legislation
Obviously, transparency over ownership and controlling interests is very important to a lot of people. How will you balance public interest in accessible information with a workable and transparent system?

Who makes the decision on what is published and what is not?

I know that a number of my colleagues have questions about that, so I will not delve into it too much.

I call Claudia Beamish.

Angus MacDonald talked about community groups or individuals who might have little experience of dealing with the register. Will they be able to speak to somebody and get guidance about whether they have got it wrong?
The Convener SNP Committee
02 Oct 2018
Subordinate Legislation
This is a huge piece of work. Does Registers of Scotland have the capacity for it, or will you expand your capacity to deal with the new register?
The Convener SNP Committee
02 Oct 2018
Subordinate Legislation
Those are all our questions, unless you wish to say something that you feel you have not had a chance to say.
The Convener SNP Committee

It has been very useful to us, too. Thank you very much. At our next meeting, on 23 October, the committee will hear evidence from the Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform on the regulations to establish a register of persons holding a controlled ...

I believe that we have asked all our questions. I thank the cabinet secretary and her officials for coming to give us evidence. At its next meeting, on 24 October, the committee will take evidence from the Minister for Rural Affairs and the Natural Environment on the Scottish...

Okay. We will write to the Government about that and ensure that you are content that the letter reflects your comments. Does the committee agree that we do not want to make any recommendations on the regulations but will put Mark Ruskell’s question in a letter to the Governm...
