Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Instruments not subject to any Parliamentary Procedure

Meeting date: 6 September 2022

Stuart McMillan

Schedule 3 to the instrument provides an updated definition of vacation sitting days of the Court of Session from the beginning of 2024 up to the end of the 2026 winter vacation. In correspondence with the committee, which can be read in our published papers, the Lord President鈥檚 private office confirmed that there was an error in the selection of two of the vacation sitting days. It noted that the days selected should have inserted Monday instead of Wednesday in both instances. The Lord President鈥檚 office intends to correct the error at the next available opportunity.

Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on the general reporting ground? At the same time, does the committee wish to welcome the fact that the Lord President鈥檚 private office intends to take corrective action, by way of an amendment, at the next available opportunity?

Members indicated agreement.

However, as the instrument was laid the day before the summer recess, on 1 July and came into force immediately, there has been a period of time when the order has been law but the Parliament has not been able to consider the changes. Although the committee may be content with the reasons that the Scottish Government has provided in our correspondence, which can be read in the published papers for today鈥檚 meeting, does the committee agree to highlight in its report that, first, as far as possible, the Scottish Government should avoid a situation such as this in the future and, secondly, where that is not possible, it would be helpful for the Scottish Government to provide a fuller explanation of the reasons for the timing of the instrument?

Members indicated agreement.
