International Immunities And Privileges
The International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Amendment (No. 2) Order 2023
Made
13th December 2023
Coming into force in accordance with article 1(2)
At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 13th day of December 2023
Present,
The King’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council
This Order is made in exercise of the powers conferred by section 1 of the International Organisations Act 1968(1) (“the 1968 Act”) and all other powers enabling His Majesty to do so.
In accordance with section 10(1) of the 1968 Act, a draft of this instrument has been laid before and approved by resolution of the Scottish Parliament(2).
Accordingly, His Majesty is pleased, by and with the advice of His Privy Council, to order as follows.
1968 c. 48. Section 1 was amended by section 1 of the International Organisations Act 1981 (c. 9), and S.I. 2005/3542.
The function of approving a draft of an Order in Council under section 10 of that Act has transferred to the Scottish Parliament under section 118 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c. 46) in so far as the function is exercisable within devolved competence. Section 118(4) of that Act provides that any reference in a pre-commencement enactment to a requirement for a draft instrument to be approved by either or both Houses of Parliament (as specified in section 118(2)) is to be taken to be a reference to the Scottish Parliament, in relation to the exercise of a devolved function by a person other than a Minister of the Crown, a member of the Scottish Government or a Scottish public authority with mixed functions or no reserved functions. Section 118(4) accordingly includes the powers exercisable by His Majesty in Council.
