This rule provides that 28 days should elapse between the laying of a negative instrument before the Parliament and the coming into force of that instrument.
The Committee draws the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j) for failure to lay it in accordance with the laying requirements in section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010.
