Scotland Act 1998 (Cross-Border Public Authorities) (Adaptation of Functions etc) (No 2) Order 2000 (SI 2000/draft)

Item 3 on the agenda deals with subordinate legislation—the Scotland Act 1998 (Cross-Border Public Authorities) (Adaptation of Functions etc) (No 2) Order 2000. It is bound to be front-page news tomorrow. [Laughter.] We are not the lead committee on this item. Only part of this statutory instrument comes under our committee's purview—the bit about the Fire Services Examinations Board, which was part-funded by the old Scottish Office. The SI simply allows the Scottish Executive to continue with that part funding. Do members have any comments?

Members indicated disagreement.

We therefore have no comments to make on this draft statutory instrument.
