Subordinate Legislation
Agenda item 3 is an affirmative statutory instrument, the Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc) Order 2000. As usual, the instrument is accompanied by an Executive covering note, TE/00/13/11, and a committee covering note, TE/00/13/12.
The Health and Community Care Committee has been designated the lead committee for consideration of this SSI. The Transport and the Environment Committee has been identified as a secondary committee. As a secondary committee, we do not have to hold a formal debate on the instrument with the minister in attendance, but we may, if we wish, report our views on the instrument to the Health and Community Care Committee. To work within the time scale being followed by the Health and Community Care Committee, we would have to publish our report by 25 May. The part of the instrument that is relevant to the remit of the Transport and the Environment Committee is contained within the schedule. It refers to the transfer of certain functions under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to the Scottish ministers.
I assume that members have read all the documents. Are there any comments on the instrument? If we are agreed that we do not have anything to report to the Health and Community Care Committee, we will note the report.
Members indicated agreement.
