The Social Security (Switzerland) (Citizens’ Rights Agreement) (Further provision in respect of Scotland) Order 2019
This Order makes provision for the modification of certain social security legislation, so far as it relates to devolved matters, so as to give effect to the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Swiss Confederation on Citizens’ Rights following the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and the Free Movement of Persons Agreement (“the Switzerland Citizens’ Rights Agreement”), signed at Bern on 25 February 2019. It does so by applying the modification provided for by article 2(1) of the Social Security (Switzerland) (Citizens’ Rights Agreement) 2019 (S.I. 2019/1303) (“the 2019 Order”), where the legislation being modified relates to a matter which falls within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament, and in relation to which competence for the exercise of functions has transferred to the Scottish Ministers.
