Introduction
1.These Explanatory Notes have been prepared by the Scottish Government on behalf of Dennis Robertson, MSP, the member in charge of the Bill for the Act, in order to assist the reader of the Act. They do not form part of the Act and have not been endorsed by the Parliament.
2.The Notes should be read in conjunction with the Act. They are not, and are not meant to be, a comprehensive description of the Act. So where a section, or part of a section, does not seem to require any explanation or comment, none is given.
