Instruments subject to Affirmative Procedure


Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2013 [Draft]

The Convener

It is my great pleasure to introduce the draft Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2013, which is a direct consequence of the Edinburgh agreement. It is the first step in the legislative process to allow a referendum on Scotland’s constitutional future. Any recommendations that we make on the order will be referred to the Referendum (Scotland) Bill Committee, which I believe meets this coming Thursday. Given the unusual nature of the order, does anyone have any comments that they would like to make? No one does.

No points have been raised on the order by our legal advisers. Is the committee content with it?

Members indicated agreement.


Homelessness (Abolition of Priority Need Test) (Scotland) Order 2012 [Draft]


Housing Support Services (Homelessness) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 [Draft]


Scottish Local Government Elections Amendment (No 2) Order 2012 [Draft]



The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.
