Instrument not subject to Parliamentary Procedure

Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 (Commencement No 1 and Transitory Provisions) Order 2014 (SSI 2014/131)

Article 2(1) of the order commences section 98 of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014, for the purpose of commencing paragraph 2(1) of schedule 5 to that act, on 28 June 2014. The reference to paragraph 2(1) of schedule 5 should not have been included in column 3 of the table in the schedule to the order. That is a superfluous provision, which purports to commence section 98 again, for the same purpose, with effect from 1 August 2014.

Does the committee therefore agree to draw the order to the attention of the Parliament on the general reporting ground, as it contains a minor drafting error?

Members indicated agreement.

That completes the agenda.
