No points arise on the instruments.


Gaming Act (Variation of Fees) (Scotland) Order 2006 (SSI 2006/249)

No substantial points arise on the order, although members may have views on the revocation of previous orders.

Mr Maxwell:

We generally take the view that it is preferable to clear out previous orders. The legal brief points out that, in this case, that was a matter of choice, so it may not be unreasonable to proceed as the Executive has done. However, we normally support clearing out old stuff to prevent clutter.

If you are not too worried about that, we will just leave it and simply raise with the Executive the minor point that is in the legal brief. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.


Public Transport Users' Committee for Scotland Order 2006 (SSI 2006/250)

The Convener:

One minor point and a more substantial point arise. We should ask the Executive to explain the purpose of the words

"from the date of coming into force of this Order"

in article 3. As the legal brief explains, the order specifies two dates for its coming into force, so the purpose of those words is therefore obscure. Shall we ask for clarification on that point and raise the minor point?

Members indicated agreement.
