Education (Student Loans) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 Amendment (No 2) Regulations 2001 (SSI 2001/311)

Should we suggest to the Executive that it should consider whether the title of the regulations is unnecessarily complex?

Yes.

We will write the Executive a nice letter suggesting that it should find a better title for the regulations.

Perhaps there should be guidelines on the number of brackets in the title of an instrument.

And on whether they should be square brackets.

As Ian Jenkins has said, we shall write to the Executive suggesting that the title is rather clumsy and unwieldy.
