A revised code of conduct for councillors (“the councillors’ code”) was approved by the Scottish Parliament on 27th October 2010 and takes effect from the date these Regulations come into force. These Regulations make consequential amendments to Table A of the principal Regulations to reflect the restructuring of the councillors’ code.
