Standards in Scotland's Schools etc Act 2000 (Commencement No 5) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/72)

There is a wee omission in the preamble, but that does not affect the substance of the order. We will send an informal letter to the Executive to draw that to its attention.

It could be mentioned in the passing that it is perhaps not great practice that a large number of commencement orders are associated with the act.

You are right. The committee has previously said that a large number of commencement orders is perhaps not the best way of doing things. We will mention that, but not make a big deal of it.

I thank members of the committee for attending the meeting. We will see you next week.

Meeting closed at 11:33.
