These Regulations amend section 113 of the 1990 Act so as to provide that in making a scheme under that section Scottish Ministers may, with the consent of the Secretary of State, provide for any functions under the scheme to be performed by a Minister of the Crown or government department where Scottish Ministers consider it expedient to do so in relation to the implementation of Council Directive 90/220/EEC on the deliberate release into the environment of genetically modified organisms.
