(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Schedule 5 to the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1975 so that action taken in connection with the investigation or prevention of crime, hitherto totally excluded from investigation by the Commissioner for Local Administration in Scotland, is so excluded only if it is undertaken by a police authority or a joint police committee.
