Draft Instruments Subject to Approval


Draft Instruments Subject <br />to Approval


Civil Partnership (Jurisdiction and Recognition of Judgments) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (draft)

No points have been identified on the draft order.


Victim Statements (Prescribed Courts) (Scotland) Revocation Order 2005 (draft)

The Convener:

Although there are no comments on the substance of the order, the explanatory note does not fulfil the requirements of the guidance on the drafting of statutory instruments in that the effect of the order is not clear. We might want to raise that.

Mr Maxwell:

I agree that we should. Although the Executive note, which contains more detailed information, is available on the HMSO website, not everyone has access to the internet. Therefore, that is not a reasonable explanation. The explanatory note should have contained a better explanation.

Will we make those points to the Executive formally?

Members indicated agreement.
