POLICE NEGOTIATING BOARD FOR SCOTLAND

Steps following arbitration
55D
1
If representations under section 55B(1) are made in terms settled through arbitration in accordance with the PNBS's constitution, the Scottish Ministers must take all reasonable steps appearing to them to be necessary for giving effect to those representations.
2
However, this—
a
requires the Scottish Ministers to take such steps only in qualifying cases (see paragraph 8(2) of schedule 2A),
b
does not require the Scottish Ministers—
i
to take such steps in relation to representations that are no longer being pursued by the PNBS, or
ii
where such steps would comprise or include the making of regulations under section 48, to make regulations under that section more than once with respect to the same representations.
