Draft Instruments Subject <br />to Approval
National Health Service (Distribution of Endowment Income Scheme) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (draft)
We move on to item 2. There was a lot of good interaction between the legal advice team and the Scottish Executive on the draft regulations, and there has been a redrafting. It seems that there are no points to raise in relation to the revised version of the instrument. Is that okay?
It is very welcome.
Scottish Hospital Trust (Transfer of Property) Regulations 2004 (draft)
A lot of issues were raised initially about the draft Scottish Hospital Trust (Transfer of Property) Regulations 2004. The draft regulations were revised, and the legal advisers are now happy with them. Are we agreed?
Good. The system works.
Solvent Emissions (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (draft)
The third draft instrument is the draft Solvent Emissions (Scotland) Regulations 2004, which are very interesting from the point of view of a former chemist. Our legal advice suggests that there are no particular points to raise. Is there anything that members wish to raise about the draft regulations?
The only issue is that, yet again, there is the absence of a transposition note. The equivalent English regulations will be accompanied by one, however. We have raised this matter a number of times. I suggest that we do not need to raise it again formally, but we should at least mention to the Executive—yet again—that it would have been helpful had a transposition note accompanied the Scottish draft regulations.
I agree. Our legal advice says that the draft regulations would in fact need a transposition note. We do not know why one was not made available in this case.
Yes—that seems strange.
Is it agreed that we will send an informal letter to the Executive along those lines?
