The Scotland Act 1998 (Cross-Border Public Authorities) (Forestry Commissioners) Order 2000
This Order, which is made under section 89 of the Scotland Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”), amends statutory provisions relating to the Forestry Commissioners, who are a cross-border public authority for the purposes of that Act. The Order makes further amendments to provisions which govern the funding of forestry functions, following the abolition of the Forestry Fund on the coming into force of the 1998 Act in July 1999. It supersedes certain amendments made by the Scotland Act 1998 (Cross-Border Public Authorities) (Adaptation of Functions etc.) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1747) (“the 1999 Order”). This Order comes into force on the day after the day on which it is made.
