Subordinate Legislation


Teachers’ Superannuation (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/42)


Teachers’ Superannuation (Scotland) Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2011 (SSI 2011/52)

The sixth and final item on our agenda is consideration of subordinate legislation. No motions to annul have been lodged. Does any member want to say anything about either of the instruments?

Ken Macintosh

The background to the instruments is the movement to a different measure of inflation, which is very unwelcome among the teaching profession. Just for information, will the decision on that be taken by this committee, through subordinate legislation, or at Westminster?

Our understanding is that the matter was part of the UK budget.

That is right: I am aware that the overall decision comes from Westminster, but I wondered whether we have any—

We do not have any autonomy on that.

I hope that the situation has been clarified for you, Mr Macintosh.

The question is, that the committee agrees to make no recommendation on the instruments. Is that agreed?

Members indicated agreement.

That is agreed.
