Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (Relevant Premises) Regulations 2005 (draft)

The regulations are subject to the affirmative procedure, but do not comply with the normal drafting conventions.

Members will have read the following in our legal brief:

"the italic headnotes should not refer to ‘laid before the Scottish Parliament'; secondly, the preamble, after ‘Regulations' should state ‘a draft of which has, in accordance with section 88(4) of that Act, been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament'".

Are we agreed that we should bring that to the attention of the Executive by a formal letter, as it is fairly important?

Members indicated agreement.
