Order Subject to Special Parliamentary Procedure


Aberdeen City Council<br />(Bobby Calder Park) Compulsory Purchase Order (No 3) 2001 (SE 2004/159)

We might wish to ask why the order was not accompanied by an Executive note, and we might ask for an explanation of the delay between confirmation of the order and its being laid before Parliament.

For how long has this matter been going on?

Three years, I think. I am sure that it dates from 2001.

Yes, it has been more or less three years.

That seems to be a bit excessive.

Yes, it does. Is it agreed that we make those two points?

Members indicated agreement.

Have we seen this type of order before?

No.

So it is the first one that we have ever had under this procedure. I was just curious.
