Designation of Institutions of Higher Education (Scotland) Amendment Order 2006 (SSI 2006/398)
We wrote to the Executive about our concern that a number of instruments had been laid in a piecemeal fashion—or, as my brief says, "a piecemal fashion"—in connection with the winding up and reconstitution of the Robert Gordon University. The Executive's response explains the complexity of the project, which meant that a number of interrelated instruments had to be produced. The response also explains that the instruments were made and laid at different times because of the requirements of various acts. I think that we would probably accept that explanation.
While we are on the subject, we have received a response from the Executive in relation to the query that we raised last week about the gap in provision of governance. The Executive tells us that no difficulties arose during the period concerned and that arrangements and decisions were ratified once governance was restored. We are delighted to know that all is well in the world of the Robert Gordon University.
