Instruments Not Subject to Parliamentary Procedure


Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Radioactivity in Sheep) Partial Revocation (Scotland) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/48)

No points have been identified on the instrument, which is in the normal form. It arises from the fallout from the Chernobyl disaster. I remember electioneering at the time and wondering how I was going to be affected.

I remember the rain coming down.

Yes, it was raining very heavily, as I recall.

I cannot believe that, 17 years on, we still have this continuing problem. It is amazing.

It is quite incredible. Is it agreed that there are no points to raise?

I noticed that the schedule mentions the "Allt Dubhchlair Burn". Given that "allt" means "burn" in Gaelic, one would have thought that that was a bit of a superfluity—but never mind.

Well spotted. My goodness!


Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No 5) (Scotland) Order 2004 Partial Revocation Order 2004 (SSI 2004/61)

This is a revocation order in the normal form. No points have been identified.
