HC Deb 12 February 2002 vol 380 cc145-6W
31. Mr. Lazarowicz

To ask the Advocate-General if she will make a statement on the implications of reform of European institutions on the operation of the Scotland Act 1998. [32363]

The Advocate-General

Sections 29(2)(d) and 57(2) of the Scotland Act 1998 ensure that the Scottish Parliament and the Scottish Ministers cannot act incompatibly with Community law. Any changes in Community law which may result from reform of the European institutions would not change that position.
