Draft Instruments Subject <br />to Approval
Transport and Works (Scotland) Act 2007 (Applications and Objections Procedure) Rules 2007 (Draft)
The summary of recommendations lists the three questions that we wish to put to the Scottish Government. However, it has become evident that a satisfactory explanation has been received to our first question, which is to clarify the meaning of "the Lands Clauses Acts" in the definition of "owner" in rule 2(1). I propose that we do not waste the Government's time by putting that question. Are members content to put the two other questions listed in the summary of recommendations to the Government?
Are members also content to raise two minor points informally with the Scottish Government?
Transport and Works (Scotland) Act 2007 (Inquiries and Hearings Procedure) Rules 2007 (Draft)
Are members content to ask the Scottish Government to clarify the meaning of the provisions in rules 11(6)(a) and 25(6)(a) that the applicant shall, by a stated date, post a notice of the inquiry or the hearing, as the case may be, "in a conspicuous place", and to clarify the need for rules 19 and 31 on the notification of decision, given that they are in the same terms and have the same application?
