Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes provision consequential on the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 (“the Act”).
The Act, amongst other things, confers and regulates rights of access to land for recreational and other purposes (Part 1 of the Act). The effect of article 2 of this Order is to enable the Secretary of State to give directions excluding or restricting the exercise of access rights pursuant to the Act in respect of any land specified in the direction where necessary for the purposes of defence or national security. Article 2 requires the Secretary of State to review certain directions and to prepare and lay a report before each House of Parliament in any calendar year where a defence direction has been reviewed.
Provision is also made in article 2 for the Secretary of State to inform the public of the effect of any direction on access rights pursuant to the Act.
