Draft Instrument Subject <br />to Approval
Management of Offenders etc (Scotland) Act 2005 (Supplementary Provisions) Order 2006 (draft)
The order makes supplementary provisions in consequence of the establishment of community justice authorities and the appointment of their chief officers and staff. It seems that the order makes fairly substantial and substantive provisions, not only in relation to staff but in other miscellaneous areas, which it would be difficult to characterise as supplementary or incidental. Do members share that view?
A second point relates to the vires of articles 6 and 7 of the order, given the reservations, respectively, in sections H1(a) and B2 of part II of schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998.
I have absolutely no problem with this bit. Frankly, I commend the Executive for attempting to push the boundaries of its powers. Good luck to it.
Mr Maxwell would like to know the theoretical underpinning of the approach.
I am quite keen on a creative use of our powers.
He likes the policy, but the procedure must be scrupulous.
Do we agree to ask the Executive about those two points?
