Instruments Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament
Crime (International Co-operation) Act 2003 (Commencement No 2) (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/281)<br />Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (Commencement No 2 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/286)
No points arise on the orders and members have no comments.
Disease Control (Interim Measures) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/291)
Our legal advisers contacted the Executive about the order because it is ineffective and defective. The Executive has agreed to revoke the order as soon as possible. Do members have comments?
That is a new low—an order that is ineffective and defective. The legal brief suggests that the Executive was trying to fix something that did not need fixing.
That is right.
I do not know whether that is positive.
On the positive side, it is likely that the Executive was trying to cover all angles. However, the order was not needed. Are members content to report the order to Parliament on the ground that it is to be revoked?
Okay.
Let us get away from that quickly.
Act of Sederunt (Chancery Procedure Rules) 2006 (SSI 2006/292)
No substantive points arise on the act of sederunt, but we can raise two minor points informally with the Lord President's office. Is that agreed?
Act of Sederunt (Ordinary Cause Rules) Amendment (Causes Relating to Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty Establishing the European Community) 2006 (SSI 2006/293)<br />Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No 4) (Fees of Solicitors) 2006 (SSI 2006/294)
No points arise on the acts of sederunt. Do members have comments?
No.
I think that I will be saying what is in my briefing in my sleep.
Meeting closed at 10:49.
