Instruments subject to Negative Procedure
The Education (School and Placing Information) (Scotland) Regulations 2012 (SSI 2012/130)
The meaning of regulation 17(3)(a) could be clearer. It provides that a written notification must include
“the information required to be given in terms of paragraph 2 of schedule 2”
to the Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004. However, paragraph 2 does not impose any duty to provide information and it appears that, instead, the intention is that the written notification should include an explanation of the general effect of that paragraph.
Does the committee therefore agree to draw the regulations to the attention of Parliament on reporting ground (h), as the meaning could be clearer?
Members indicated agreement.
