Instruments Not Laid Before <br />the Parliament

---

Valuation Timetable (Scotland) Amendment Order 2007 (SSI 2007/81)<br />Bankruptcy and Diligence etc (Scotland) Act 2007 (Commencement No 1) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/82)

We come to agenda item 6—and I am glad that members are staying with me. No points have been identified on these orders.

---

Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 (Commencement No 3, Transitional and Savings Provisions) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/84)<br />Act of Sederunt (Rules of the Court of Session Amendment No 2) (Fees of Solicitors) 2007 (SSI 2007/86)

No substantive points have been identified on the instruments, but we will report on some minor ones.

---

Vulnerable Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2004 (Commencement No 4, Savings and Transitional Provisions) Order 2007 <br />(SSI 2007/101)

No points have been identified on the order, which is our final instrument.

However, I should go back to the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (Alteration of Housing Finance Arrangements) Order 2007 (SSI 2007/74). Members will remember that we talked about the definition of the word "year". I did not make the point strongly enough on the record that there had been a failure to follow proper drafting procedure. We will report on that. I thank our legal adviser, Mairi Gibson, for keeping me right.
