Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No 16) (Scotland) Order 2002 Revocation Order 2003 (SSI 2003/195)

We now come to the Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (West Coast) (No 16) (Scotland) Order 2002 Revocation Order 2003 (SSI 2003/195). I just wanted to say that one last time.

It is all in order.


Food Protection (Emergency Prohibitions) (Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning) (Orkney) (No 3) (Scotland) Order 2002 Revocation Order 2003 (SSI 2003/197)

Believe it or not, this revocation order is not in order.

The Executive has cited the Food and Environmental Act 1985, instead of the Food and Environment Act 1985.

When we asked about that, the Executive informed us that it was a typographical error. However, one has to wonder why, given that there are pro formas for all these things.

Someone in the drafting office must have been having a bad day.

Anyway, we have to draw the Parliament's attention to the defective drafting in the order.
