Coming into force in accordance with article 1

In exercise of the powers conferred upon me by section 112(1), 113, 114(1) and 129(1) of the Scotland Act 1998(1) and of all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I hereby make the following Order:

“Scottish functions” has the same meaning as in section 119 of the Act.

(2) Unless otherwise provided, any reference in this Order to a numbered article is a reference to an article bearing that number in this Order and any reference in an article to a numbered paragraph is to a paragraph bearing that number in that article.

(a)a pre-commencement enactment makes provision for any report to be laid before Parliament or either House of Parliament;

(b)the report concerns pre-Scottish functions (whether wholly or otherwise); and

(c)the report is to be laid on or after the principal appointed day.

(2) Subject to paragraph (3), the report shall be laid before the Scottish Parliament as well as before Parliament or (as the case may be) either House of Parliament.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes provision for transitional and transitory purposes under the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46).

Articles 3(1) and (2) make provision for reports which are required to be laid before the United Kingdom Parliament to be laid before both the Scottish Parliament and the United Kingdom Parliament where—

(a)the report concerns functions (whether wholly or otherwise) which will after the principal appointed day be Scottish functions; and

(b)the report is to be laid on or after the principal appointed day.

The principal appointed day is 1st July 1999 by virtue of the Scotland Act 1998 (Commencement) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/3178).

Article 3(3) provides that article 3(2) shall not apply in relation to any accounts relating only to a period ending before the principal appointed day or any report on such accounts. Such accounts or report will require therefore to be laid before the United Kingdom Parliament only.

As a consequence of this provision article 24 of the Scotland Act 1998 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) (Finance) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/441) is revoked.

(2)

Article 3 of the Scotland Act 1998 (Commencement) Order 1998 (S.I. 1998/3178) specifies 1st July 1999 as the principal appointed day for the purposes of the Act.

(3)

S.I. 1999/441.
