2007 No. 3
The Argyll and Bute Council (Pilotage Powers) Order 2007
Made
Laid before the Scottish Parliament
Coming into force
Whereas Argyll and Bute Council1 is a harbour authority within the meaning of the Pilotage Act 19872 (“the 1987 Act”) for the harbour of Campbeltown but is not a competent harbour authority within the meaning of the 1987 Act;

Now therefore the Scottish Ministers, on the application of Argyll and Bute Council, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 1(4) of the 1987 Act3 and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Order:
