Conclusions and Recommendations - Code of Practice on household waste recycling
The Committee welcomes the provision to create a statutory Code of Practice as a vehicle for greater standardisation of household waste recycling provision in Scotland, to improve local authority performance and help public understanding...
Enforcement notices
Section 12 would extend the enforcement powers of the Commissioner to require compliance with the codes of practice proposed in the Bill and on the code of practice on records management set out in section 61 of the FoI Act.
There has been no material change to the legislation that would require a re-issue of the code, however, the Scottish Government has taken the opportunity to strengthen the code, which makes more comprehensive and enhanced guidance available to proper persons.
The Committee welcomes the provisions in the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 in relation to the Code of Practice but is concerned that the Code has been insufficient in influencing all DMGs.
Details of what the notifications must include would be identified in the Code of Practice, including timescales, but could be subject to future change.
