Scotland Act 1998 Explanatory Notes

Agency Arrangements

Functions of a Minister of the Crown, which are specified in any order made under section 93 (agency arrangements) of the Scotland Act 1998 as at September 2001 are identified under the heading “Agency Arrangements”.  The only Order under that section which has in fact done so is the Scotland Act 1998 (Agency Arrangements)(Specification) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1512).

The other orders which have been made under that section prior to that date have specified functions which are exercisable by the Scottish Ministers, namely the Scotland Act 1998 (Agency Arrangements)(Specification) (No. 2) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/3320), the Scotland Act 1998 (Agency Arrangements)(Specification) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/745), the Scotland Act 1998 (Agency Arrangements) (Specification) (No.2) Order 2000 (S.I. 2000/3250).  As these functions are not necessarily related to a reserved matter, they are not identified in these notes.
