Instruments Not Laid Before the Parliament

Instruments Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament

---

Antisocial Behaviour etc (Scotland) (Commencement and Savings) Amendment Order 2005 (SSI 2005/553)

We move on to the final item on the agenda. The title of the order amended by SSI 2005/553 is misquoted both in article 2 and in the explanatory note. That could have serious consequences, in that the amendment order could be rendered ineffective. However, the defect could be rectified by reference to a footnote on page 1. I would have thought that we would raise that matter formally. Do members agree?

Members indicated agreement.

---

Education (Additional Support for Learning) (Scotland) Act 2004 (Commencement No 3) Order 2005<br />(SSI 2005/564)

No points arise on the order.

---

School Education (Ministerial Powers and Independent Schools) (Scotland) Act 2004 (Commencement No 2 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2005 (SSI 2005/570)

No substantive points arise on the order, but we will raise a minor point that has been highlighted in an informal letter.

---

Act of Adjournal (Criminal Procedure Rules Amendment No 6) (Vulnerable Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2004) (Evidence on Commission) 2005 (SSI 2005/574)

No substantive points arise on the act of adjournal, but we will raise a minor point that has been highlighted.

---

Fees in the Registers of Scotland Amendment Order 2005 (SSI 2005/580)

No points arise on the order.

Before we close, I will give members the correct title of the instrument that Stewart Maxwell asked about. It is called the Antisocial Behaviour Notice (Landlord Liability) (Scotland) Regulations 2005.

Landlord liability is very different from landlord licensing.

It certainly is.

Our next meeting will be next Tuesday. I thank members for their patience and will see you all next week.

Meeting closed at 12:51.
