Instruments subject to Annulment


Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (Prescribed Services) (Protected Adults) Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/161)


Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007 (Fees for Scheme Membership and Disclosure Requests) Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/167)

The Convener

We have two instruments subject to annulment. In relation to Scottish statutory instrument 2010/161, the committee might wish to report to the Parliament that the regulations could be clearer, in that the word “and” before

“provision of advice and assistance”

is intended to be “or”. Do we agree to report that?

Members indicated agreement.

The Convener

The next question refers to both SSI 2010/161 and SSI 2010/167. The committee might wish to express the view that the Scottish Government should give the public 21 days’ notice in advance of section 44 of the 2007 act, and consequently the regulations, coming into force. Can we agree that?

Members indicated agreement.


Advice and Assistance and Civil Legal Aid (Transfer of Tribunal Functions) (No 1) (Scotland) Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/166)


Adoption Agencies (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/172)


Adoptions with a Foreign Element (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/173)



The committee agreed that no points arose on the instruments.
