Section 6: Effect of plan
18.The Scottish Ministers must have regard to the national good food nation plan when exercising certain functions. Those functions, or the description within which they fall, will be specified in regulations. For example, a description might be the “provision of food in schools” or “all functions of the Scottish Ministers relevant to the provision of food in schools in the Education (Scotland) Act 1980”. This would mean that when exercising any function in relation to the provision of food in schools, or any function of the Scottish Ministers relevant to the provision of food in schools in the Education (Scotland) Act 1980, the Scottish Ministers would have to have regard to the national good food nation plan.
