Instruments Not Laid Before the Parliament


Instruments Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament


Registration of Births, Still-births, Deaths and Marriages (Prescription of Forms and Errors) (Scotland) Regulations 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/598)

Do members have any points on the regulations?

We should ask the question that is raised in the legal brief about the vires for regulation 3.

The issue does not affect the regulations; it is that they came into effect using a power that was annulled on the same day.

Right. We will ask the Executive to justify the vires for regulation 3 given the repeal of the enabling power.

The enabling power was repealed on the same day that it was used to justify the new powers. There should be an overlap.


National Health Service (Functions of the Common Services Agency) (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/603)

There is an omission in the preamble, which fails to cite section 105(6) of the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, which is a relevant enabling power. Are members happy to ask about that?

Members indicated agreement.


Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 (Commencement No 2) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/607)<br />London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 (Commencement) (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/611)

No points arise on the orders.

The committee's next meeting will be on Tuesday 16 January.

Meeting closed at 11:05.
