Subordinate Legislation

Knife Dealer’s Licence (Historical Re-enactment Events) (Scotland) Order 2011 (SSI 2011/263)

We have one instrument for consideration. Members will see from paper 1 that the Subordinate Legislation Committee reported that the order failed to follow proper drafting practice, as article 2(2) is unnecessary. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considers that that is unlikely to affect the validity of the order, but it observes that it would be desirable for the Scottish Government to revoke article 2(2) at the first available opportunity.

As members have no comments to make, are we content to note the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.
