Proceeding contribution from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2008.
Scotland Act 1998 (Transfer of Functions to the Scottish Ministers etc.) Order 2008
My Lords, if a company which operates both south and north of the border has to make application for planning regulations, it will have to subject itself to different regimens north and south of the border, will it not? That is implicit in operating in Scotland and England. That could be true also for energy, installation and pollution issues. However, if one body is in charge of those installation issues in Scotland, it cannot make sense to fragment the responsibility for part of that installation in Scotland and translate to two bodies the decision-making for a purely Scottish operation. This is an entirely sensible solution to that potential problem.
