These Regulations modify the Gender Representation on Public Boards (Scotland) Act 2018 (“the Act”).

Regulation 2 adds the National Smart Ticketing Advisory Board (“NSTAB”) to schedule 1 of the Act. This means the members of NSTAB will be subject to duties contained in the Act relating to the achievement of the gender representation objective (defined by section 1 of the Act). Also, the Scottish Ministers will be subject to duties contained in the Act relating to the achievement of the gender representation objective as the appointing person (defined by section 2 of the Act) for NSTAB.
