First, there appears to be doubt as to whether the following functions that would be conferred on the General Teaching Council for Scotland to make rules or schemes are intra vires, by reason of a breach of the prohibition in section 20(1) of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010, that an order may not confer or transfer a function of legislating on persons other than the Scottish ministers, the First Minister or the Lord Advocate: the function of making rules in relation to the registration of teachers, in article 15; the function of making schemes, under articles 26 and 31 and paragraphs 2 and 7 of schedule 2; and the function of making rules, under schedule 4, paragraph 1.Secondly, there appears to be doubt as to whether the provisions in schedule 2 that would have the effect of transferring to another person the existing function of the Scottish ministers of appointing six members of the GTCS are intra vires, by reason of their breaching the prohibition on such transfer that is contained in section 20(7) and (8) of the 2010 act.
