This Order revokes the Regulation of Scallop Dredges (Scotland) Order 2005 (S.S.I. 2005/371).
1967 c. 84. Section 15(3) was substituted by the Sea Fisheries Act 1968 (c. 77), Schedule 1, paragraph 38(3) and amended by the Fishery Limits Act 1976 (c. 86), Schedule 2, paragraph 16(1). Relevant modifications are contained in the Scotland Act 1998 (Functions Exercisable in or as Regards Scotland) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1748), article 5 and the Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Functions) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1756), articles 3, 5 and 6. The functions of the Secretary of State were transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46). Section 22(2) which contains a definition of “the Ministers” for the purposes of sections 3 and 15(3) was amended by the Fisheries Act 1981, sections 19(2)(a) and 45(b). The definition has effect in relation to Scotland with the modifications made by section 22A(12)(b), inserted by the Scotland Act 1998 (Consequential Modifications) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1820), Schedule 2, paragraph 43(13).
