Section 51 of the Adoption (Scotland) Act 1978 prohibits the making of payments in connection with certain adoption procedures and arrangements. Subsection (5) of section 51 disapplies the provisions of that section where a scheme for payment has been submitted to the Secretary of State by an adoption agency and he has approved the scheme. Section 51(8) provides for subsection (5) to expire on the seventh anniversary of section 32 of the Children Act 1975 (c. 72) coming into force unless the Secretary of State repeals subsection (8)prior to the said anniversary. (Section 32 of that Act was commenced on 15th February 1982 by the Children Act 1975 (Scotland) (Commencement No. 3) Order 1982 (S.I. 1982/33)).
The power to repeal subsection (8) is exercisable only in connection with the publication of a report on the operation of the said schemes under section 51(7).
