Instrument Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament
Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 (Commencement No 2) Order 2008 (SSI 2008/171)
The committee agreed that no points arose on the instrument.
Finally, we need to be absolutely correct about one thing before we finish our consideration of legislation. Before we move on to agenda item 7, I want to return to Mr McGrigor's Scottish Register of Tartans Bill. The legal adviser wants to clarify a point.
I want to be clear on what the committee's view is on section 16 of the Scottish Register of Tartans Bill. The committee was asked whether it was content that acceptable justification has been provided for the departure from normal practice that draft affirmative procedure should apply where power is taken to amend primary legislation. Members will recall that a point of distinction was made between textual amendments and mere modifications. Are members content that modifications may be subject to the negative procedure but that we should stick to our previous view on textual amendments?
Thank you very much.
We need to be kept right by our advisers. Thank you.
