No motions to annul have been lodged and no member has raised any points on the instrument. However, I would like to make a few comments.The Scottish Executive has introduced the regulations on the back of the committee's report on petition PE327, which was lodged by the Blairingone and Saline Action Group. The regulations will outlaw practices that were highlighted in the petition, such as the spreading of untreated abattoir waste on land. We have done a fair amount of work on PE327; that work was led, initially, by the committee's former convener, Andy Kerr. We have maintained the pressure for the Executive to introduce regulations and have had a debate in the Parliament on the subject. The introduction of the regulations highlights the effectiveness of the Parliament's public petitions system and the work of the Parliament's committees in initiating changes to legislation. I welcome SSI 2003/171.
