The Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 (Consequential Provisions) Order 2011
This Order amends the Interests of Members of the Scottish Parliament Act 2006 and the Scottish Parliamentary Pensions Act 2009. Both of those Acts provide for the Scottish Parliament to pass resolutions and, as enacted, provided for the Scotland Act 1998 (Transitional and Transitory Provisions) (Statutory Instruments) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1096) to apply to any such resolution as if it was a Scottish statutory instrument. That Order ceased to have effect on 6thApril 2011 by virtue of section 55 of the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010. From that date provision in relation to the numbering, citation and publication of Scottish statutory instruments is instead made by the Interpretation and Legislative Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 and by the Scottish Statutory Instruments Regulations 2011. This Order provides for those enactments to apply, subject to modifications, to the resolutions of the Scottish Parliament referred to in the Interests of Members of the Scottish Parliament Act 2006 and the Scottish Parliamentary Pensions Act 2009 as if they were Scottish statutory instruments.
