Draft Instrument <br />Subject to Approval
Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exclusions and Exceptions) (Scotland) Order 2003 (draft)
There are quite a number of errors in the order.
Indeed. In paragraph 8 of schedule 1, the word "plan" is a bit odd. It probably should have been "place", because section 1 of the Abortion Act 1967 makes provision for the secretary of state to approve places, but makes no mention of plans.
That might well be true. We can ask about that; it might simply be a wee typo.
In subparagraph 2 of the table in schedule 2, there is a reference to
In subparagraph 10 of the same table, the word "Service" appears to be missing after the words "Financial Ombudsman". It should be there, and we could ask the Executive why it is missing.
I have just been wondering whether in paragraph 20 of part 2 of schedule 4 on page 14, the reference might be to—
I wondered too, whether the reference was to section 128(5)—
—of the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994. [Laughter.]
Yes.
Yes, because section 128(4) is about appointments to the office of principal reporter, whereas section 128(5) covers the appointment of those assisting.
We have an incredible amount of knowledge here.
And so accurate. This is pretty important stuff, because it is about folk who are unsuitable for working with children.
There are also one or two minor drafting errors, but we do not have to elaborate on them at this stage. They could go in an informal letter.
We have read the Executive's mind and picked out what could well be typos, about which we will inform the Executive.
