Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (Commencement No 3) Order 2011 (SSI 2011/30)
Do we agree to draw the order to the attention of the Parliament on the ground that it contains drafting errors in article 3(3)? Given that the order contains two schedules and that different commencement dates apply to the provisions that are made in each of them, article 3(3), in making provision on the purpose for which provisions are to come into force, should have made appropriate reference to paragraph (2) of article 3 and not simply paragraph (1). We might take the view that that is not likely to affect the validity or effect of the order, as it should be plain by reference to the two schedules to the instrument which provisions are to come into force on which date and for what purpose.
