EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations update references to section 82(2) of the Scotland Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) in schedules 1 and 2 of the Scottish Parliamentary Pensions Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”), specifically to replace references to section 82(2) with broader references to section 82 of the 1998 Act.
These changes are required in consequence of provision made by the Scottish Parliament (Disqualification of Councillors) Regulations 2025 (S.S.I. 2025/306) and the Scottish Parliament (Disqualification of Members of the House of Commons) Regulations 2025 (S.S.I. 2025/307). Those instruments were made in exercise of the powers in sections 3 and 5 of the Scottish Elections (Representation and Reform) Act 2025 and made amendments to section 82 of the 1998 Act. This instrument ensures that those amendments to section 82 of the 1998 Act are reflected in the relevant places in the 2009 Act.
