Instruments Not Laid <br />Before the Parliament
Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No 5) (Miscellaneous) 2004 (SSI 2004/331)
Two main points have been identified on the act of sederunt, which were referred informally to the Court of Session. First, the court has acknowledged the deficit under point (a) of our legal brief, and that will be corrected shortly. Secondly, the court has explained new rule 41.5. It is suggested that we simply draw the attention of Parliament to those two issues and to the feedback that we received.
Act of Sederunt<br />(Summary Applications, Statutory Applications and Appeals etc Rules) Amendment (Protection of Children) (Scotland) Act 2003) 2004 (SSI 2004/334)<br />National Health Service Reform (Scotland) Act 2004 (Commencement No 1) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/335)
Act of Adjournal (Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment No 3) (Extradition etc) 2004 (SSI 2004/346)<br />Scottish Qualifications Authority Act 2002 (Commencement No 2) Order 2004<br />(SSI 2004/347)

National Health Service Reform (Scotland) Act 2004 (Commencement No 2) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/361)
No points of substance have been identified on the instruments.
Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 (Commencement No 3) Order 2004 (SSI 2004/367)
Although no points of substance have been identified on the order, we might ask the Executive to explain why it was not possible to allow the customary period of scrutiny of the order before its provisions took effect.
That brings us to the end of the agenda.
It has been a great pleasure to serve on the committee. I am sure that my experience here will be very useful in the future.
We will miss you.
