1981 c. 22 (“the 1981 Act”). The power to make Orders under this section was originally conferred on “the Ministers” as defined in section 86(1) of the 1981 Act. The functions of the Ministers were, insofar as within devolved competence, transferred to the Scottish Ministers by virtue of section 53 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46) (“the 1998 Act”) and the requirement to obtain Treasury consent under section 84(1) of the 1981 Act was removed by section 55 of the 1998 Act.
