Proceeding contribution from Baroness Carnegy of Lour (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 July 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2007.


Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2007

I have one question for the Minister. I am sure that there is a very simple answer but I should like to be clear about it. In Schedule 2 to the order, the restrictions on the enactment of Section 5 apply only for the purposes of, "““preventing or detecting serious crime””," and, "““in circumstances appearing to the Scottish Ministers to be equivalent to those””," which would apply in other circumstances. If it has to appear right for Scottish Ministers, should it not also appear right for the relevant Minister with responsibility for crime? Surely the appearance must be thus on both sides of the fence. I hope that that question is clear.
