Instruments Subject <br />to Annulment
Academic Awards and Distinctions (The Robert Gordon University) (Scotland) Order of Council 2006 (SSI 2006/452)
While it is encouraging to know that, after all the work that has been done, the university intends to give out academic awards, no points arise.
Food (Emergency Control) (Scotland) Revocation Regulations 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/459)
No points arise on the regulations.
Robert Gordon University (Transfer and Closure) (Scotland) Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/461)
We might ask the Executive whether any transitional provisions are necessary in relation to matters on-going at the date of transfer to the reconstituted university. Do we agree so to do?
Water Services and Sewerage Services Licences (Scotland) Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/464)
A couple of informal points arise in relation to the order.
Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/465)
Do we wish to ask the Executive to explain the late implementation of the European Union directive, which should have taken place by 18 July 2004?
In passing, I should mention that, in the European and External Relations Committee, Jim Wallace has conducted a thorough inquiry into the issue of how such things are implemented by SSIs all over Europe. Apparently, some countries are not too bothered whether they implement things or not. Although we might sometimes be late, I can say that we are not the worst.
Regulation of Investigatory Powers (Prescription of Offices, Ranks and Positions) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2006 (SSI 2006/466)
No points arise on the order.
Race Relations Act 1976 (Statutory Duties) (Scotland) Amendment Order 2006 <br />(SSI 2006/467)
Do we agree to ask the Executive to confirm that, where necessary, the bodies that are referred to in the order have been added to the list of bodies in schedule 1A to the Race Relations Act 1976?
Local Government Pension Scheme (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2006 (SSI 2006/468)
A couple of issues arise in relation to the regulations.
As this is the fifth substantive amendment of the principal regulations, do we agree to ask the Executive whether it has any plans for consolidation?
We always do that; it serves as a wee reminder.
