Does Bristow Muldoon wish to comment on the fact that this is a statutory instrument as opposed to a Scottish statutory instrument?
I do not have a particular comment—I was interested in the different procedure that was applied in this case. It might be useful for us at some stage to understand the circumstances in which the Privy Council would be likely to make orders, as opposed to other forms of statutory instrument being used.
That is a valid point. It seems bizarre that two matters relating to the Bell College of Technology are dealt with in two different ways. We could raise that and ask generally what the remit is regarding when matters would come in through UK legislation.
That is important.
That might be going too far, but we can certainly ask why this has happened in this instance.
