Draft Instrument Subject <br />to Annulment
Disposal of Records (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2003 (draft)
The regulations are necessary as a result of devolution. Do members have points to raise?
Not really. I am not sure whether our legal adviser could clarify why the Executive has used the rare form of draft regulations subject to annulment. Why have draft regulations subject to annulment in 40 days, when the Executive could have laid regulations subject to the negative procedure, which would have allowed annulment in 40 days? I find that odd. Are there many such instruments?
I gather that there are only a few of them.
I ask out of pure historical curiosity.
It is a very old form of primary legislation. No points arise on the draft regulations.
