HC Deb 19 May 1998 vol 312 cc760-1

Amendments made: No. 141, in page 22, line 3, leave out from beginning to end of line 14 and insert— '(1) References in this Act to the exercise of a function being within or outside devolved competence are to be read in accordance with this section. (2) It is outside devolved competence—

  1. (a) to make any provision by subordinate legislation which would be outside the legislative competence of the Parliament if it were included in an Act of the Scottish Parliament, or
  2. (b) to confirm or approve any subordinate legislation containing such provision.
(3) In the case of any function other than a function of making, confirming or approving subordinate legislation, it is outside devolved competence to exercise the function (or exercise it in any way) so far as a provision of an Act of the Scottish Parliament conferring the function (or, as the case may be, conferring it so as to be exercisable in that way) would be outside the legislative competence of the Parliament'. No. 142, in page 22, line 15, leave out from 'made' to `by' in line 16 and insert `confirmed or approved, or purporting to be made, confirmed or approved'.—[Mr. McLeish.]
