Registration Services (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Regulations 2009 (SSI 2009/314)
There has been a failure to follow normal drafting practice in the regulations because one of the relevant enabling powers, namely paragraph 6(5) of schedule 1 to the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007, has not been referred to in the preamble. Is the committee happy to report that to the lead committee?
Members indicated agreement.
Sea Fishing (Enforcement of Community Quota and Third Country Fishing Measures and Restriction on Days at Sea) (Scotland) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/317)
The order is defectively drafted as it has omitted to specify criminal sanctions in respect of the offences in articles 10(4) and 11(2). The Scottish Government will correct those errors before the order comes into force, which we welcome. We should report the order on the grounds of defective drafting. Is that agreed? The Government has come to meet us and has agreed to put it right.
Members indicated agreement.
