Rendering (Fluid Treatment) (Scotland) Order 2001 (SSI 2001/189)
Agenda item 4 is instruments that were not laid before the Parliament.
The order contains a typographical error. We will seek clarification on whether the order has been notified to the European Community and whether a belt-and-braces procedure been adopted with regard to the sanction for breaching the order. It is normal for such orders to reflect section 72 of the Animal Health Act 1981, although that may not be necessary, given the terms of section 73 of that act. My understanding is that it is probably not necessary for section 72 to be reflected, but we could ask the Executive whether it feels that a belt-and-braces procedure should be adopted.
