Public Bodies Act Consent Memorandum

Public Bodies (Abolition of the Advisory Committees on Pesticides) Order 2015 [Draft]

The draft order is a United Kingdom Government order under the UK Public Bodies Act 2011. The Scottish Parliament’s consent is required to make an order under part 1 of the 2011 act where such an order makes provision that would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee considers and reports on such orders under the same grounds as instruments that are laid before the Parliament.

No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the order. Does the committee agree to report that it is content with it?

Members indicated agreement.
