EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes modifications and repeals in consequence of the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007 (and regulations made thereunder) which restates and amends the law in Scotland relating to adoption and the care of children.
Article 2 and Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 1 make consequential amendments to primary and subordinate legislation. Part 3 of Schedule 1 makes repeals and revocations to primary and subordinate legislation.
Article 3 and Part 1 (paragraphs 1 to 6) and Part 3 of Schedule 2 make consequential amendments and repeals to primary legislation which do not extend to Scotland as these amendments and repeals have already been effected, for Scotland, by the Adoption and Children (Scotland) Act 2007, schedules 2 and 3.
Part 2 (paragraphs 7 to 10) and Part 3 of Schedule 2 also make consequential amendments and revocations to subordinate legislation. These do not extend to Scotland as they have already been made, for Scotland, by the Adoption with a Foreign Element (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2011 (S.S.I. 2011/159).
