Ethical Standards in Public Life etc (Scotland) Act 2000 (Register of Interests) Regulations 2003 (SSI 2003/135)
We should draw several fairly serious points about the regulations to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament. Do members agree?
There is a serious point relating to the Data Protection Act 1998, so even at this late stage in the game, we should impress on the Executive the fact that serious stuff could go through on the nod.
Local Government Pension Scheme (Management and Investment of Funds) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2003 (SSI 2003/138)
The regulations are defectively drafted at four points. We should draw that to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament. We also required further explanation, which the Executive supplied.
Act of Adjournal <br />(Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment) (Proceeds of Crime Act 2002) 2003 <br />(SSI 2003/120)
The next instrument is an act of adjournal, which is SSI 2003/1020—I mean 120; it only feels like 1020. A legal slip-up was made. The final dispatch of the electronic version of the instrument might have had some corruption.
Is that corruption in the court?
No.
It was electronic corruption.
I think that we can accept the explanation, because we are in that sort of mood this morning. Is that agreed?
Well done, Lord President.
What a sook.
