Civil Legal Aid (Financial Conditions) (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2002 (draft)
No points arise on the regulations.
There are no points, as Colin Campbell says.
You were watching again on Saturday night.
No, I was not.
Okay. We should point out, just for the sake of clarity, that the Eurovision song contest was held on Saturday.
How many points did Norway get?
I do not know. Gordon Jackson would know. He is riveted by Norway's fate.
I understand that Norway was not in the contest. Obviously, they were so poor in previous years that they were chopped.
Let us move swiftly on.
Advice and Assistance (Financial Conditions) (Scotland) (No 2) Regulations 2002 (draft)
The regulations seem fine.
As Bill Butler says, the regulations seem fine.
Welfare of Farmed Animals (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2002 (draft)
Our legal advisers have pointed out that paragraph 3(b) of new schedule 3D seems to be missing a subparagraph (ii). That may be a typo—it probably is—but it would be as well to point it out at this stage. There are another couple of typos, but those do not merit a big fuss. We will formally mention only the point about the missing subparagraph; we can point out the other items informally.
Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Amendment (Scotland) Order 2002 (draft)
The draft order has been laid by the Executive because of our criticism of an earlier draft.
Should the order not say that it supersedes an earlier draft?
Indeed. The Executive has moved well to take on board the points that we made, but the draft's italic heading should mention that this draft supersedes the earlier one. An informal letter would be enough to point out that. Is that okay?
