Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) <br />(West Coast) (No 13) (Scotland) Order 2002 (SSI 2002/465)
Last week, Colin Campbell was concerned because he could not recall without the map, which we normally get, exactly what location the order referred to. We asked for a map, and the Executive apologised and assured us that we would get one next time.
Good.
Scottish Local Government Elections Rules 2002 (SSI 2002/457)
This is straightforward. The Executive has admitted that there was an example of defective drafting, as "inability to read" appears as "an ability to read". It has given us a gracious response confirming the error.
Did we look at how that happened? I wonder how "inability" becomes "ability". [Interruption.]
Come in Gordon Jackson, you are welcome.
I cannot imagine that it was spell-checked from "inability" to "ability".
I am sure that it has nothing to do with the spelling; we have sometimes received Friday afternoon instruments. However, the rules are fine, and we draw them to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament because the Executive says that it will fix the error.
