Scottish Network 2 Tourist Board Scheme Amendment Order 2004 (SSI 2004/465)
Agenda item 5 is instruments subject to annulment, the first of which is the Scottish Network 2 Tourist Board Scheme Amendment Order 2004 (SSI 2004/465). No points arise on the order.
Education (Graduate Endowment, Student Fees and Support) Switzerland (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004<br />(SSI 2004/469)<br />Debt Arrangement Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2004<br />(SSI 2004/470)
No points have been identified on the regulations.
Marketing of Fruit Plant Material Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/471)
No particular points have been identified, except that there is the issue of late implementation, which is due to implementing the regulations on a UK basis, so that measures come into force at the same time.
Food Labelling Amendment (No 2) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/472)<br />Nature Conservation (Designation of Relevant Regulatory Authorities) (Scotland) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/474)
Conservation (Natural Habitats, &c) Amendment (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (SSI 2004/475)
No points have been identified on the instruments.
Land Registration (Scotland) Amendment Rules 2004 (SSI 2004/476)
The rules amend the Land Registration (Scotland) Rules 1980, consequential on the coming into force of the Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003. Although no points of substance arise, a number of minor points arise. I suggest that the three such points that are identified in paragraphs 42 to 44 of our legal briefing be passed on in an informal letter. Is that agreed?
Title Conditions (Scotland) Act 2003 (Rural Housing Bodies) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/477)
No points of substance arise, but there is a slight issue to do with the fact that the order assumes that all the bodies that are listed in the schedule to the order meet the criterion that is described in paragraph 46 of our briefing. However, as the requirement is mandatory, it might have been advisable for a statement to have been produced to the effect that the bodies that are listed meet the requirement. Do members wish to raise that in an informal letter?
Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc (Scotland) Act 2000 (Prescribed Periods) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/478)
It is suggested that we ask the Executive to justify the vires of article 2, given that there appears to be nothing in the enabling power that permits different provisions to be made for different circumstances. Members will see from the order that different provisions have been made.
The Executive should have included a supplemental provision.
Lands Tribunal for Scotland<br />(Title Conditions Certificates) (Fees) Rules 2004 (SSI 2004/479)
No points of substance arise.
