(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Scotland Act 1998 (Transitory and Transitional Provisions) (Complaints of Maladministration) Order 1999 (S.I. 1999/1351) ("the principal Order"). The principal Order made provision for the investigation by a Scottish Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration ("Scottish Commissioner") of complaints of maladministration in connection with action taken in the exercise of the administrative functions by any member of the Scottish Executive and certain other persons, bodies and authorities.
This Order amends certain incorrect modifications made by the principal Order to section 11A of the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967 (c.46), which are intended to extend the references to consultations between the Parliamentary Commissioner and the Health Service Commissioners to include consultations between the Parliamentary Commissioner and the Scottish Commissioner.
