Instruments subject to Negative Procedure
Tuberculosis (Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Revocation Order 2018 (SSI 2018/202)
The first instrument for consideration under agenda item 3 is SSI 2018/202, which was laid before the Parliament on 22 June and comes into force on 30 June, so it does not respect the requirement that at least 28 days should elapse between the laying of an instrument that is subject to the negative procedure and its coming into force.
Does the committee wish to draw the order to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j), as it fails to comply with the requirements of section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010?
Members indicated agreement.
