Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (Permitted Disclosure of Information) Order 2009 (SSI 2009/448)
Item 4 is subordinate legislation. There is one negative instrument for our consideration today. I draw to members' attention the cover note, which is paper 3. The Subordinate Legislation Committee has drawn no matters to the attention of the Parliament in relation to the order. Do members have any comments?
The order relates to the Megrahi situation, if I am not much mistaken.
I do not think that we require a crystal ball to appreciate that.
Article 2(b) talks about a person who provided the information to the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission consenting to its disclosure. Is there any issue there if that person has subsequently died? There may be an easy answer to that.
I suggest that we note the order, which is perfectly inoffensive, and write to the Government to ask about the rationale for the order and to put the question that Robert Brown has asked. Is that agreed?
Members indicated agreement.
Meeting continued in private until 13:25.
