The Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 (Register of Interests) Amendment Regulations 2014
These Regulations amend the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 (Register of Interests) Regulations 2003 (“the 2003 Regulations”), following upon the approval by the Scottish Parliament on 4th December 2013 of a new model code of conduct for members of public bodies. This model code was laid before the Parliament by the Scottish Ministers under section 2 of the Ethical Standards in Public Life etc. (Scotland) Act 2000 (“the 2000 Act”) and was issued on 3rd February 2014. The issuing of the new model code will lead to fresh codes being issued in relation to the conduct of members of each devolved public body listed in schedule 3 to the 2000 Act. These codes will be in line with the terms of the new model code.
