Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Instruments subject to Negative Procedure

Meeting date: 17 May 2022

Stuart McMillan

The instrument amends the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) (Scotland) Regulations 2010 (SSI 2010/168) by extending the categories of individuals to whom an exempted question may be asked for the purpose of an enhanced criminal record certificate. That applies to individuals who are seeking to provide accommodation in relation to the homes for Ukraine sponsorship scheme, whether or not they reside in the accommodation themselves.

The instrument was laid on 6 May 2022 and came into force on 12 May. It therefore breaches the 28-day rule in section 28(2) of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010. In correspondence with the Presiding Officer, the Scottish Government explained that a breach of the laying requirements had been necessary to ensure that the safeguarding system that is in place is suitable. It also ensures that the appropriate level of checks can be undertaken in advance of matching taking place, given the number of people due to arrive in Scotland in a very short timescale.

Does the committee wish to draw the instrument to the attention of the Parliament on reporting ground (j), for failure to comply with laying requirements?

Members indicated agreement.
