National Bus Travel Concession Scheme for Older and Disabled Persons (Scotland) Amendment Order 2010 (Draft)
The Convener (Jamie Stone)
Welcome to the Subordinate Legislation Committee’s eighth meeting in 2010. We have apologies from Bob Doris. I ask members to turn off all mobiles.
Do we agree to report to the Parliament that we accept the Scottish Government’s confirmation of what it is intended can be modified consequent on a determination of an assessment panel, and that we accept the Scottish Government’s explanation for the need for a definition of “capped level of funding” and “reimbursement rate” in proposed new article 12(8) of the National Bus Travel Concession Scheme for Older and Disabled Persons (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/107)?
Do we also agree to draw the order to the attention of the Parliament on the ground that, in our opinion, the inclusion in the preamble of references to sections 40(3) and 40(4) of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2005, which are not standalone enabling powers, is not in accordance with normal drafting practice but does not affect the validity and effect of the instrument?
Members indicated agreement.
Local Government Finance (Scotland) Amendment Order 2010 (Draft)
The committee agreed that no points arose on the instrument.
