Instruments not subject to Parliamentary Procedure


Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011 (Commencement No 3) Order 2012 (SSI 2012/1)

The Convener

In commencing part of the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011, article 2(2) of the order incorrectly refers to commencing “paragraph 8(a) and (b)” of schedule 5 to the 2011 act, when the correct reference should be to paragraphs 1(8)(a) and (b) of that schedule. Do we agree to draw the order to the Parliament’s attention under the general reporting ground, as it contains a drafting error in article 2(2)? In doing so, can we note that the error should not affect the proper operation of the order?

Members indicated agreement.


Private Rented Housing (Scotland) Act 2011 (Commencement No 2 and Transitional Provision) Order 2012 (SSI 2012/2)



The committee agreed that no points arose on the instrument.
