As a result and to facilitate the process of producing a revised Code, I intend to withdraw the Code laid on 16 September from Parliament. I also intend to make and lay before Parliament a new SSI in relation to a replacement version of the Code of Practice next week.
We would appreciate insight on whether the Government has considered first bringing forward separate legislation with the much narrower purpose of amending the current statutory requirement to lay the draft CCP by autumn 2024 and seeking Parliament’s consent to do so expeditiously.
The protocol with the Scottish Parliament does provide for urgent or immediate cases. Given the planned laying date of 8 June however, the SI was considered both urgent and Parliamentary Committees were still in the process of being formed.
This will ensure a continuation of the common approach on INNS policy across Scotland, England and Wales both in relation to devolved policy and reserved matters. Intended laying date (if known) of instruments likely to arise The intending laying date is 1 July 2024.
Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j), in that it has been laid less than 28 days before coming into force and has therefore breached the laying requirements under section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010?
As is usual for commencement regulations, the default laying requirement applies (as provided for by section 30(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010).
However, my officials have identified no policy concerns with the draft SI. Intended laying date (if known) of instruments likely to arise The instrument is expected to be laid on 4 November 2024.
