Instruments not laid before the Parliament
Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (Commencement No 5) Order 2011 (SSI 2011/20)
Act of Adjournal (Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment) (Community Payback Orders) 2011 (SSI 2011/21)
Bankruptcy and Diligence etc (Scotland) Act 2007 (Commencement No 7 and Transitionals) Order 2011 (SSI 2011/31)

Forth Crossing Act 2011 (Commencement) Order 2011 (SSI 2011/38)
The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.
I have a concern about SSI 2011/20. Our briefing states:
“the Committee may consider the order before it enters into force. However, the provisions brought into force on 21 January only enable further legislation to be made.”
So, in effect, we have not been given the appropriate time. I recognise that the order will go through, but I just want to mention my concern that we were not given it timeously.
That is now on the record.
