Instrument Not Laid Before the Parliament

---

Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 (Commencement No 1) Order 2003 (SSI 2003/562)

Item 5 is consideration of instruments not laid before Parliament. There is a small point on SSI 2003/562, which we thought we could raise by way of an informal letter. It relates to section 36(2)(c) of the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003, which is relevant to the making of the order. We might want to ask the Executive why section 36(2)(c) has not been cited as an enabling power. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

Thank you very much.
