Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000 (Transitional, Transitory and Saving Provisions) (No 1) Order 2000 (SSI 2000/11)
This statutory instrument, consideration of which forms agenda item 2, is enacted under the Public Finance and Accountability (Scotland) Act 2000. It deals with the making of transitory, transitional and saving provisions for and in connection with the coming into force of the act, the Auditor General of Scotland, and the establishment of Audit Scotland and the Scottish Commission for Public Audit.
I refer members to the explanatory note. I remind members that this is a negative instrument that came into force on 1 February. Under standing orders, the instrument has been laid after being made and is in force unless, within 40 days after the date on which it was laid, Parliament passes a resolution that nothing further be done. Are we agreed that we have no recommendations to make?
Members indicated agreement.
