Secure Accommodation (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2015 [Draft]
No points have been raised by our legal advisers on the draft instruments, but the committee might wish to note that the draft Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Covert Surveillance and Property Interference – Code of Practice) (Scotland) Order 2015 and the draft Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Covert Human Intelligence Sources – Code of Practice) (Scotland) Order 2015 were initially laid before Parliament on 2 December. They were then withdrawn and relaid on 8 December, because the committee’s legal adviser identified that the date of issue of the code of practice, as stated in article 2(1)(b) of each of the draft orders, was not correct.
