Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Act 1990 (Enforcement of Overseas Forfeiture Orders) (Scotland) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/581)
We asked the Executive to clarify the drafting of article 16(6) and the use of the word "or" instead of "on". The Executive has acknowledged the typographical error. I suggest that we draw the order to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament on the basis of defective drafting. Are we agreed?
Adults with Incapacity (Management of Residents' Finances) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/610)
We noted that the citation of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000 in regulation 2 omitted the word "Scotland". The Executive has again acknowledged the error. We should draw that to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament on the ground of defective drafting as acknowledged by the Executive. Is that agreed?
Plant Health (Scotland) Order 2005 <br />(SSI 2005/613)
We raised two points on the order, which are set out in the Executive's response. Given that response, we should draw the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament to the order on the ground of defective drafting, or that the drafting could be clearer, in relation to the first point; and on the ground that the drafting of article 7(3) could be clearer. As there are no other specific points on the Executive's response, is that agreed?
Official Feed and Food Controls (Scotland) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/616)
We asked the Executive several questions and we have its response. We could draw the regulations to the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament on the grounds that clarification was required of the drafting; that there was doubt as to whether regulations 18(4) and (5) were intra vires; and that regulation 43(2)(a) was defectively drafted. Those points were acknowledged by the Executive and it is moving to correct them. Is there anything else?
No.
Rural Stewardship Scheme (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2005 <br />(SSI 2005/620)
We raised two points with the Executive. I suggest that the committee draws the attention of the lead committee and the Parliament to the regulations on the grounds that regulation 3(e) was defectively drafted, and that the meaning of regulation 10(b) could have been clearer. Is that agreed?
Less Favoured Area Support Scheme (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2005 (SSI 2005/624)
Members will remember that the regulations are to be made available free of charge to recipients of the principal regulations, but that that information is not present in the headnote. Do members agree to report that failure to follow proper legislative practice?
