Draft Instruments Subject to Approval


Draft Instruments Subject <br />to Approval


Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 (Consequential Modifications and Savings) Order 2006 (draft)

The order is complex. Informal discussions have taken place between our legal advisers and the Executive on the three issues that arise. Would anyone like to comment?

No, we will just go through the questions.

The Convener:

Are members content that we ask the Executive for an explanation of the following three matters? The first question is whether paragraph 1 of schedule 1 to the Theatres Act 1968 ought to contain a cross-reference to the amendment made by paragraph 4. The second question is whether a further amendment is required to paragraph 7(3)(b) of schedule 1 to the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 in relation to the reference to "conditions" contained there. Thirdly, we ask the Executive to confirm that the amendment made to the Capital Allowances Act 2001 by paragraph 15 of schedule 1 is within devolved competence. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.


Fundable Bodies (Scotland) Order 2006 (draft)

The Convener:

The order is part of the package of instruments brought about by the reconstitution of the Robert Gordon University. Are members content that we ask the Executive to explain the difference in effect between paragraph (a) and paragraph (b) of article 3? It is difficult to know what the difference is.

Members indicated agreement.
